Lion One Card's New Feature

One CardStarting the first week of February, a select team will begin testing the new UCCS Lion One Cards on campus. The new cards will have the same look but offer an exciting new feature, being contactless!

Over the next few days, the team and Transact will be finishing up the installation of the new door readers on Copper and El Dora this week. Once these two buildings are done, all of the residence halls and the POS systems will be functional. Any cards that have the contactless feature can be used at these locations. The next step of the project is to begin work on the existing card readers in the El Pomar Center, and continue working building to building with a  project completion date targeted for the summer of 2020.
