A Connected Campus Starts with Your Student ID
Your card program is at the center of college life, allowing access to important services both on and off campus.
With today’s students demanding more connectivity and convenience than ever before, you need a reliable solution that simplifies campus management while supporting the latest technology.
Use the best of new technologies to meet ever-growing expectations and rapidly changing requirements with CBORD’s card and credential solutions for higher education.
Empower your campus card to serve as identification, provide physical access to buildings and rooms, and enable payments on and off campus. Streamline your auxiliary services into one robust, comprehensive environment that serves as the hub of your connected campus.
Enable Frictionless Credential Options
As campus credential technology has advanced through the years, so has the demand to expand beyond a traditional plastic card. With CBORD, schools can future proof their programs to include modern, contactless technology such as biometrics, mobile applications, and digital credentials.
Provide Contactless, Mobile IDs
Let your students move effortlessly through campus with digital student IDs for Android phones, Apple Watch, or iPhone. Mobile credentials provide a contactless, secure, and convenient way for students to access services, open doors, and complete transactions.


Students and staff appreciate the safety and convenience of a single credential they can use across campus and beyond:
- Access a residence hall and pay for laundry
- Use a meal plan
- Pay for dining and retail items from on-campus locations and off-campus partner merchants
- Check account balances and loyalty rewards
By providing secure access to integrated auxiliary services using multiple credential options, you will create a seamless student experience and ensure your campus is ready for the future.
