Panther Mobile for Android Phones 

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 Android phone.  

With Panther Mobile, students, faculty, and staff can use their Android 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 still 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.

Getting Started

Ensure you have an Android mobile phone that runs Lollipop (5.1 or higher) with NFC enabled.  Additionally, you will need the latest version of the Google Wallet app from the Google Play Store. Google Wallet will need to be enabled and set up. 

To enhance the security of Panther Mobile, your Android phone must be registered on Florida Tech’s DUO two-factor authentication platform

You will also need to have an approved Panther Card photo. If you have not done so yet, upload a photo. If you do not already have an approved Panther Card photo or upload a new photo, you will not be able to use Panther Mobile.
