Health Affirmation Tech Implemented for Students and Faculty

Distributed Over 1,000 New ID Cards Remotely
Since adopting Online Photo Submission MATC went from only providing student ID cards in person to approving over 1,000 remote IDs

Challenges

While schools across the country transitioned their classes to a virtual environment, MATC had to find a solution that would help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 for students, faculty and staff who were required to be on campus. MATC leadership called on Transact to discuss available solutions to assist in verifying in-person students for COVID-19 symptoms while promoting social distancing and contactless operations.

Solution

With the help of Transact, MATC implemented Transact iValidate to facilitate a health affirmation statement that students, faculty, and staff are required to accept each day before entering any MATC campus. The campus also launched Transact Online Photo Submission — a convenient tool that helps to facilitate social distancing by allowing students to submit their photos online.
