Android Devices
Baylor is bringing the exciting experience of adding your Baylor ID Card to Google Pay on Android mobile devices. With this feature, students, faculty, and staff will be able to use an Android mobile device to access buildings and make payments anywhere your Baylor ID Card can be used. Simply tap your phone at the same reader where you use your physical student ID card. You don’t have to wake the device or open an app.
To get started, you will need an Android mobile device running Android Lollipop (version 5.1) or higher with NFC turned on.
To enhance the security of your Baylor Digital ID, your Android must be registered on Baylor’s Duo two-factor authentication platform. For further instructions, visit helpdeskplus.web.baylor.edu/duo.
Now, do the following to activate your Baylor Digital ID
If you have not done so, upload a photo to idphoto.baylor.edu. If you do not upload a photo, your Baylor Digital ID card will not be able to be added to your Apple or Google wallet.
- Ensure that you have the latest version of Google Wallet
- Download the GET Mobile app from the Google Play Store
- Open the GET Mobile app and select Baylor University from the list of institutions
- Log into the app using your Bear ID, password, and Duo two-factor authentication
- When log in is complete, select the "Add to Google Wallet" button and follow the prompts. Important: Do not delete the GET Mobile app from your device
- Open your Google Wallet and select “Passes” to use your Baylor Digital ID
Report any issues using your Baylor Digital ID to HelpDesk+ in person on the Garden Level of Moody Memorial Library, by phone at (254) 710-4357, or by email at helpdesk@baylor.edu Be prepared to share the following when reporting an issue:
- What date/time did the issue occur?
- What does the issue you are having involve? Did you encounter an issue within the app, at the reader, etc.?
- Did this issue occur multiple times (i.e., would we be able to reproduce it or was it a one-time occurrence)?
- If you send an email, please describe the issue and include screenshots or videos of the issue to help us recreate the problem
While we continue to upgrade Baylor’s infrastructure to work with the Baylor Digital ID, we strongly recommend you continue to carry your physical card with you.
