The HCC Hawk Card program, built on Heartland’s Campus OneCard platform, is designed specifically to meet the school’s unique needs to provide students, faculty and staff with a flexible tool to access a multitude of key services on- and off-campus.

The Hawk Card, HCC’s campus ID card, is required to print and make copies on-campus as well as access library services, parking facilities and HCC’s student living community, Hawks Landing.

As part of Heartland’s Give Something Back Network, the Hawk Card will also serve as an FDIC-insured, prepaid card that enables cardholders to make purchases on-campus at the bookstores and dining locations, as well as off-campus at participating merchants. The Hawk Card will be accepted at many local merchants around campus including Bennigan’s, Subway, CVS and Channelside Cinemas and across the country.

HCC said that it will issue more than 30,000 Hawk Cards beginning from February 8. Moreover, the program will be rolled out to the other four campuses over the following weeks.

Fred Emery, vice president and general manager of Heartland Campus Solutions, said: “The Hawk Card will enhance the landscape of campus life at HCC. Having an all-in-one card program provides unprecedented convenience for cardholders and campus administrators alike. The Hawk Card also affords local Tampa merchants a unique opportunity to help grow their businesses and stimulate the local economy.”
