The Dawg Tag is Gardner-Webb University’s new digital ID, bringing the convenience of the traditional Webb Card to your smartphone. Available for both Apple and Android devices, the Dawg Tag allows students, faculty, and staff to access campus facilities, meal plans, and make purchases—all from their phone’s wallet.
Through the GWU One Card office initiative, users can swipe or tap their device anywhere a physical card is accepted, making campus life more seamless and efficient. Say goodbye to carrying a separate card and enjoy the ease of managing your Dawg Tag right from your smartphone!
Contact the One Card office at (704) 406-2391 or email [email protected]. Business hours are Monday – Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm.
If you are using Express Mode, simply tap your screen, or click the power button to wake up the phone. If you are not using Express Mode, you will have to authenticate each time you access your phone. This is a user security preference. Note: Express Mode is turned on by default.
Dawg Tag can be used even if Android, iPhone or Apple Watch does not have network connectivity, as the Dawg Tag is stored on your device. If you are having any difficulty using your Dawg Tag to complete a transaction, report any issues to the GWU One Card Office at [email protected] or call (704) 406-2391 so we can investigate.
