Supporting Safer, More Connected Campuses
Illumia's Campus ID, Access, & Security systems brings your entire security and identity ecosystem together around one credential, provisioned in an instant and accepted everywhere, whether that's unlocking a residence hall or checking in at graduation. Whether your campus runs cloud-native platforms or on-premises systems, mobile credentials or physical cards, you choose the capabilities that fit today and add more as your needs grow. Here's how each piece works together.Strengthening Campus Safety Without Adding Complexity
The result is a safer campus that’s easier to manage, easier to navigate, and built to evolve alongside institutional needs.
Campus Card Platforms
Every connected campus starts with the platform that manages identity at scale. Choose IDX Cloud, our cloud-native credential management platform built for modern security and commerce integration, or CS Gold 9, our industry-leading on-premises system for patron management, transactions, and access assignments, still fully supported with no end-of-life date. Whichever you run, it becomes the single system of record for every credential on campus.
ID & Mobile Credentials
You can go fully mobile, keep physical cards, run a hybrid model, or use biometric data to retire costly ID printing in favor of remote credential provisioning, all provisioned and managed through IDX Cloud. Illumia's mobile credentials work across more than 80 certified devices, including wearables, and support the HID, ASSA ABLOY, and Allegion ecosystems many campuses already use. Prefer physical cards? Our card production tools and self-service photo submission keep that path just as simple.
Door Access & Security
Your credentials already support door and event access, and in an emergency, your team can remotely lock down a building in seconds, with transaction data that may help locate students who could be in danger. IDX Access connects your credential platform to a wide ecosystem of access control partners and hardware, from cloud-hosted options like Avail Cloud to trusted on-premises systems, so security scales with your campus instead of holding it back.
Event Access & Attendance
From lecture halls to game day, your campus ID becomes the ticket, too. Event Access & Attendance uses the same IDX-powered credential already in students' pockets to track class attendance and manage entry to games, concerts, and campus events, no separate ticketing system required. At the door, staff can use Verify, our mobile identity tool, to confirm eligibility in seconds and keep lines moving.
Campus Services
Meal plans, vending, laundry, printing, the bookstore, concessions: whatever credential-based service your institution wants to offer, Illumia covers it. eAccounts turns campus ID into a student's everyday wallet, managing stored value and declining balance across dining, retail, laundry, vending, and off-campus partners from a single account. The Off Campus Program extends that same spending power to approved local merchants, so the convenience of one credential doesn't stop at the campus gate.
