TitanCard Update (March 2003)
System Upgrade
At the end of March, TitanCard underwent a major system upgrade from CS Gold 3.3.3 to CS Gold 4.03.
The major highlights of the upgrade included:
- a conversion from Oracle 7 to Oracle 9i
- the removal of the UNIX-based Nutcracker
- upgrade of servers from Windows NT to Windows 2000
This upgrade allowed TitanCard to provide a more stable system environment, and to take advantage of additional features offered through Oracle 9i and Windows 2000, making CSUF one of the first campuses to utilize such a robust and hi-tech campus carding system.
Commencement Tickets
TitanCard monitors the distribution of commencement tickets by providing a way to track eligibility for tickets. Students are required to swipe their TitanCard at one of several distribution sites on campus (and El Toro) in order to verify their eligibility. Once a student has swiped their card, they are no longer eligible to receive tickets. Approximately half of all graduating students picked up their tickets during the first week of ticket distribution. |
