Contactless-enabled Purdue Mobile ID
by Casey James Peters 22 Dec '25

22 Dec '25

[https://mailimages.purdue.edu/purdue-oevpt_id_card_office/Delivera_Logo_-ne…] UPCOMING HARDWARE CONVERSIONS IN ARMSTRONG Greetings from ID Card Operations, As Purdue advances its campus-wide transition to Mobile Credentials and modern contactless technology, the mag stripe portion of card readers using the Transact system will soon be upgraded to support contactless (tap) access only. Starting in January 2026, the magnetic stripe (swipe) will be disabled on all Transact devices. This change improves security, simplifies systems, and supports our shift to Mobile Credentials. To enter buildings or use secure services, customers will need to tap their contactless-enabled Purdue ID or use the Purdue Mobile ID. Our team is working to ensure a smooth transition. Customers whose ID does not support contactless access will be contacted directly with any necessary actions required to maintain access.

Reminder: Return MSE Credit Cards & Receipts by December 17th
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

Hello MSE Department, As we prepare for winter recess, please plan any remaining credit card purchases ahead of time. All department credit cards, along with their corresponding receipts, must be returned by Wednesday, December 17th. Please be sure to: * Return the card to an MSE admin (Lisa, Maddi, or Andriana) * Attach or email itemized receipts for all transactions * Clearly note the purpose of the charges (event, course, project, etc.) Many items can—and should—be ordered through Ariba rather than using a departmental credit card, to be sure we are getting Purdue tax-exempt and contracted pricing. Returning cards and receipts on-time ensures we can submit everything to the business office before campus closes. Thank you for helping us wrap up our end-of-year finances smoothly! Boiler Up!
