Fellow Boilermaker,

 

You are invited to be a part of our Next Giant Leap. Join us as we launch the new Purdue Mobile ID Option for Faculty, Staff and Visiting Scholars, which allows you to use your phone via Mobile Credentials as you would your physical Purdue ID Card.

 

We understand that each of you have different preferences when it comes to how you access and interact with our systems and facilities. That’s why we’ve made the Purdue Mobile ID an optional feature for employees and visiting scholars.

 

For those who prefer the convenience of using their smartphone to access buildings and services, the Purdue Mobile ID offers a streamlined, secure, and easy-to-use alternative to traditional ID cards. However, if you prefer to continue using your physical ID card, you are absolutely welcome to do so. Both options are fully supported, ensuring that everyone can choose the method that works best for them.

 

We invite you to visit Purdue ID Card Operations / Support for full instructions on how to download the Transact eAccount App on your mobile device and add the Purdue Mobile ID to your mobile wallet.
