Another difference is that student transactions are in \u201creal time,\u201d Kidder said.<\/p>\n<p>This means if a student buys a soda at Knightstop, they can then go online to access their accounts and the transaction will have already gone through or will be listed as pending.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference from the old program is that it allows parents access as well. \u201cOf course this has to be a conversation between student and parent,\u201d Kidder said. \u201cBut a parent will be able to check the balance of the card and add money to the card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019ll be good for parents to access their kid\u2019s account, because they can know if they need money or not,\u201d said Sherrick Washington, a digital media senior from West Palm Beach.<\/p>\n<p>The conversion will automatically occur Aug. 23, the first day of fall semester.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kidder, students won\u2019t have to come in and get a new card. The mag stripe, which is the black stripe on the back of the card that enables the card to be used as a SunTrust ATM\/debit card and access to Dining Services dining membership, will automatically change, and the Smart Chip, which stores the values of transactions, will be useless.<\/p>\n<p>There will be converters around campus for students who have their old cards, though. A student with an old card would have to swipe his or her card, which will be read and the information would be moved to an online account.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback from students and parents who wanted to be able to see transactions in real time and manage their accounts was one of the main reasons why the new program will be installed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in such a fast-paced world that people want to be able to see information quickly,\u201d Kidder said. \u201cWe are driven by what our users want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the new program, students can either go to the Card Services office or  to <a href=\"https:\/\/ucfcard.ucf.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/ucfcard.ucf.edu\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Central Florida Future, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralfloridafuture.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">UCF ID becomes more like debit card<\/a>, by Natalie Richards, staff writer.
