Enabling access for campus applications
From physical spaces to digital systems—access is everywhere.
Colleges and universities today face rising complexity in access control and user authentication. With a growing number of applications—both physical and digital—requiring secure access, institutions must balance user convenience with increasing demands for security, sustainability and operational efficiency. At the same time, shifting student expectations, evolving technologies and a changing regulatory landscape are driving the need for smarter, more adaptable campus access strategies.
This whitepaper explores the key trends shaping access control in higher education, from the rise of mobile credentials and hybrid learning models to the growing cybersecurity threats facing university networks. It examines how authentication technologies like RFID and smartphone-based credentials are being used across campus environments, and the critical role they play in protecting people, property and data.
As authentication becomes central to both campus operations and risk management, the choices institutions make today will shape their flexibility and resilience in the future. This paper offers a strategic framework for navigating those decisions—helping higher education leaders, IT teams and systems integrators think critically about infrastructure, user experience and long-term security across the Smart Campus.
