Panther Mobile for Apple Devices
Florida Tech now offers a mobile alternative to carrying your physical Panther Card. Panther Mobile is still your official Florida Tech ID card, but offers the convenience of digital accessibility on your Apple iPhone and/or Apple Watch.
With Panther Mobile, students, faculty, and staff can use their Apple devices phone to access campus buildings and make purchases at dining locations.
COMING SOON! Panther Mobile will also be accepted at vending machines.
Cardholders can view meal plans, FlexCredit, and Panther Cash balances at-a-glance on Panther Mobile. It can also be instantly issued or revoked, offering an added level of control and fraud protection for cardholders.
We recommend you continue to carry your physical Panther Card (if you have one) with you for use as campus identification.
Participation in Panther Mobile is voluntary at this time. Panther Card users who do not elect to use Panther Mobile may continue using their card as normal.
