Illustrative sample — fictional student data
Seven practical steps from first conversation to ongoing renewals.
You stay in control of eligibility, launch timing and staff access.
We handle the technical implementation so your team can focus on students.
Each stage builds on the last — from understanding your institution through to cards in students' wallets and year-round support.
The institution provides basic information about institution type, approximate number of students, current student card process, existing student information system, expected launch date, and whether digital Wallet cards are required.
StudentCards.eu prepares a tailored plan covering required setup, student information import, card design, digital Wallet requirements, staff access, implementation timeline, pricing and support.
The required institutional accounts, authorisations and card configuration are prepared so your institution is ready to issue cards.
Supported starting points include CSV, Excel, manual entry, or existing student system integration where appropriate. Records are checked before cards are issued.
We recommend beginning with a controlled group of students so that the card design, data and delivery process can be verified before wider issuance.
Cards are issued and students receive instructions for accessing them, including digital Wallet options where included.
Support continues for new students, annual renewals, graduates, withdrawn students, expired cards, information changes and technical updates.
After launch
Once cards are issued, students can access digital credentials on their phones — including Apple Wallet and Google Wallet where included in your implementation — without your team running a separate development project.
Tell us about your institution and we will outline the most practical route from assessment to issued cards.
