Apple expands NFC student IDs to 12 more universities

Students at an additional 12 US universities will be able to use their iPhone or Apple Watch “to get into dorms, buy lunch and more” in the coming school year, Apple has announced. The expansion will bring the number of students able to use their iPhone or Apple Watch as a contactless student ID to more than 100,000, Apple adds. The service was unveiled in June 2018 and went live in September 2018 at three universities — Duke University, University of Oklahoma and University of Alabama.
