Users Can Tap Their Android, iPhone or Apple Watch Anywhere the Card is Accepted

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Beginning on June 24, Gardner-Webb University will launch its new digital ID, The Dawg Tag. This program brings the convenience of the traditional Webb Card to a smartphone.

Through the GWU One Card office initiative, users can tap their device anywhere a physical card is accepted, making campus life more seamless and efficient. No longer will a separate card be required, the Dawg Tag can be managed from a smartphone.

Utilizing The Dawg Tag

• The Dawg Tag is stored directly on the device and can be used even if Android, iPhone or Apple Watch does not have network connectivity.

• There is no cost to use a student ID card in Android or Apple Wallet.

• Faculty, staff, and students are eligible as long as they meet all device and software requirements.

• The Dawg Tag works the same way as the plastic card—simply tap the reader with the phone instead of the card.
