Wildcards now available on mobile for Weber State community
OGDEN, Utah — Weber State University students, faculty and staff can now add their Wildcard to Apple Wallet or Google Pay and use their mobile devices to access campus buildings, purchase meals and more.
With mobile IDs, students can complete any action that previously required a physical card — both on and off campus — with just their iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone. Students can place their device near a reader to enter the Wildcat Center and residence halls, make purchases at the Wildcat Store, buy lunch and more.
The move from physical cards to a contactless Wildcard allows for transactions that are safe, convenient and highly secure, and helps students avoid touching readers or handing their cards to someone else. Weber State can also issue school IDs remotely or print and mail physical cards. 
“The ability to add the Wildcard to a student’s phone marks a landmark moment for Weber State University,” said Chip Coleman, WSU systems architect. “It’s not just about making the Wildcard easily accessible and always in your pocket, it’s a commitment to enhancing WSU student experiences and elevating community security.”
Wildcard is also protected by two-factor authentication to ensure only the student can access their own account, even if someone else knows their password.
To set up, students must download the eAccounts app, authenticate with their university credentials and then add their Wildcard to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Further instructions are available on the Wildcard website.
For help setting up mobile Wildcard, please visit Wildcard Services & Information Desk in Shepherd Union or the Davis Student Services in D2 on WSU Davis.
Code Purple safety app also available on mobile
Weber State students, faculty and staff can also download the Code Purple app to their mobile devices to stay up to date during emergencies.
Code Purple also offers features to keep users safe, including texting with a dispatcher, reporting tips straight to campus police and campus emergency plans.
Users will still receive Code Purple text messages, phone calls and email alerts without the app, but using the app unlocks helpful safety features, such as Friend Walk, which allows a trusted friend to track a user’s walk home.
Sign up for safety alerts and download the app on the Code Purple website.
