Apple adds support for contactless student ID cards in Wallet at three universities

Students at three universities — Duke University and the Universities of Alabama and Oklahoma — can now use just their iPhone and Apple Watch to get around on and off campus. The Wallet app on these Apple devices adds support for student ID cards, making it more convenient to access everything on campus, says Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Internet Services.



Students can add their ID card to Apple Wallet and use it to pay quickly and easily for laundry, coffee or lunch, and even get into their dorms, the gym or the school library. Johns Hopkins, Santa Clara and Temple Universities will bring the capability by the end of this school year.
