CARMEL, IND. (June 11, 2025) – Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) and Denison College have partnered with Transact + CBORD and Allegion US to implement mobile credential technology across their campuses. The initiative aims to enhance satisfaction by enabling students to connect to their campuses using the technology they use most: their mobile devices. This collaboration highlights both institutions' commitment to leveraging innovation to improve campus life.
The implementation of Mobile Student ID in Apple Wallet® and Google Wallet™ allows students to access facilities, residence halls, and campus amenities using their phones, eliminating the need for traditional ID cards. The new mobile credentials will seamlessly integrate with each school's established secure and configurable access control system, CS Access.
At FIT, the shift to mobile credentials required upgrading an established Allegion hardware infrastructure, which included Schlage MT readers. The process involved replacing only the reader modules on existing Schlage AD-400 wireless locks, streamlining the transition. In contrast, Denison College, which installed its Allegion hardware infrastructure in 2021 with Schlage MTB readers and LE/ NDE mobile enabled wireless locks, was already prepared to support mobile credentials, enabling a seamless and efficient transition.
"With the successful mobile Wallet launches at FIT and Denison, it’s evident that mobile credentials are a viable solution for campuses of all sizes and profiles,” said Jeff Koziol, Business Development Manager at Allegion. “Congratulations to Denison and FIT for their well-executed rollouts and the impressive adoption rates achieved since implementation earlier this year."
Despite differences in their starting points, FIT’s need to update legacy infrastructure and Denison’s recent adoption of modern more secure hardware, the shift to mobile credentials at both institutions is a direct response to student feedback and the growing need to align campus services with the needs of today’s students. By reducing the reliance on physical ID cards and enabling secure access through mobile devices, FIT and Denison College are setting a new standard for campus security, connectivity, and convenience.
“By adopting digital IDs, schools like FIT and Denison are doing more than modernizing credentials — they're showing an earnest commitment to student success," said Rasheed Behrooznia, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Campus ID and Commerce for Transact + CBORD. "Digital IDs have proven to remove barriers, foster a greater sense of belonging, and meet digital expectations. Today’s announcement marks an important shift toward an inclusive, secure, mobile-first campus experience for students at both of these schools.”
