We’re excited to introduce the Lehigh Pass - the new way to Lehigh. Now, with just your smart device – whether phone or watch, iOS or Android – you can have access to the places and services you need on campus.
About the Lehigh Pass
The Lehigh Pass is a mobile credential that lives in the digital wallet on your phone and can replace your plastic ID with a few simple steps. Once you’re set up, your phone or smartwatch (or both!) provides the same level of access to residence halls, academic buildings, and administrative offices that you currently hold. It will also allow you to use Clutch Cash at the Lehigh Store, vending machines, retail dining and the Mail Center.
Lehigh Pass is powered by Illumia, a leading provider of mobile access systems used by 150+ higher education institutions including Penn, Harvard, Penn State, Stanford, Purdue and Johns Hopkins. The system, built on eAccounts, manages meal plans, dining points of sale, Clutch Cash, ecommerce, and more.
Like a physical ID card, your mobile or wearable credential needs a moment to sync with our access control systems. Please allow up to 15 minutes after adding it to your wallet before using it on a door or transaction.
We think you’ll find mobile credentials convenient, but if you prefer to keep using your plastic card you may do so. All of the functions of the Lehigh Pass are also available through your plastic card. Please note that when you activate your mobile credential, your physical card will be deactivated.
