Multiple Applications#
Your Goodcard has several different applications running on it that are produced by several different companies. Each application needs to be setup separately before you can use them. You can do this by using a PC in one of the College’s media rooms that are located in the Basements of both London House and William Goodenough House.
Room key and key for security doors in public areas#
This is setup for you by the Reception team and it will work straight away.
Payment card for food & drink in Freddie’s and the Great Hall#
Your Debitrak account will be setup for you automatically before you arrive and all you need to do is add money or mealplan tokens to your card and away you go! As a Member of the College, you are entitled to purchase meals at a subsidised rate. You can also buy mealplan tokens for your Goodcard that save you even more money on meal purchases. Freddies and The Great Hall are both cashless.
For full instructions on how to Setup your Debitrak account and add funds or a mealplan to your card, please see the Goodcard - Debitrak section on page 16.
Payment card for printing, copying and scanning#
Your Goodcard lets you print, copy and scan using the multifunction printers in the Media Rooms. You will need to setup the Papercut application on your Goodcard and load some funds onto it before you can use the printers. For full instructions on how to Setup your Papercut account and add funds to your card, please see the Goodcard - Papercut section on page 24.
Lost Cards#
If you lose your Goodcard, you won’t lose the money on it if you report it immediately. The lost card will be cancelled and a new card issued. The funds on the old card will be transferred over to your new card.
Security#
The Debitrak Portal that you use for adding funds to your Goodcard is a secure website (https) and does not retain any card details. All payments are routed through a secure payment provider. Data is processed using 256bit encryption. The College staff can access your account when required as it’s essential in order to fix problems and resolve disputes but Goodenough Staff do not have access to your credit card details.
Laundry#
Your Goodcard will not work for Laundry. The Laundry rooms use an app on your phone to pay for the washers and driers. For full instructions, please see the Circuit Laundry section on page 32.
When You Leave#
Your Goodcard must be returned to Reception when you leave Goodenough College. As an Alum, you will no longer be entitled to all of the discounts that you had as a Member.
