Present your Blugold Mobile ID whenever access to facilities and services is required.

Your Blugold Mobile ID also offers you the following:

Door access at residence halls and academic buildings
Reduced-price tickets for many campus activities and events
Access to McPhee Physical Education Center facilities

*While physical Blugold IDs are compliant with Wisconsin Voter ID laws, mobile IDs are not. Students who are eligible to vote can request a free voter ID compliant card from the Blugold Card Office. Learn more about Wisconsin’s voter photo ID and proof of residency requirements here.

Blugold Mobile ID vs. Physical Blugold ID Card ... What's the difference?

Our campus is a mobile-first campus, meaning that students are encouraged to use their mobile credentials for all transactions while on campus. Blugold Mobile ID's can do everything a physical card can do, with the added benefits of convenience, accessibility, safety and sustainability.

Additional details on the features and functions of the Blugold Mobile ID can be found at Blugold Mobile ID Information.

The cost of Mobile ID's is included in tuition.

The cost of a physical Blugold ID card is $15 for all students. Physical cards can be purchased in-person in the Blugold Card Office during regular business hours.

There is a chip and antenna within the card to allow the "tap" capability. These can be damaged if the card is bent or exposed to magnetic forces (for instance in a phone pocket when the phone is being charged).

The Card Office staff will check your card on our equipment to verify that the card does not work. If you need a new card, we can replace it for you while you wait. The replacement cost is $15. The wait time for the card is usually less than 5 minutes.
