Valley City State University (VCSU) has launched the Viking Mobile ID for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android Phones. Students can use it on campus with just a tap of their mobile device.
Students, faculty, and staff can add their Viking Mobile ID to Apple Wallet or Google Pay and use their iPhones, Apple Watches, or Android phones to conveniently, safely, and securely access campus buildings, purchase meals, and more, according to VCSU President Alan LaFave.
With mobile IDs, students can complete any action that would have previously required a physical ID card. A device with the Viking Mobile ID can be used to access residence halls as assigned, check out a book at the Allen Memorial Library, purchase a meal at the Viking Café or Viking I, buy coffee at Viking Grounds or make purchases at the campus bookstore. The Viking Mobile ID is also protected by two factor authentication.
To set up their mobile school ID, students must download the eAccounts app, authenticate with their university credentials, and then add their Viking Mobile ID to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. For more information, visit https://www.vcsu.edu/student-life/campus-resources/viking-card.
