Mobile ID
GWorld is excited to offer CBORD Mobile ID, the app that offers you the convenience of a room key on your phone. It functions as a limited GWorld card, allowing residents to unlock their residence hall room doors with their Android or Apple phone. Mobile ID works with any card-reader-equipped suite or room door to which a resident normally has access. In specific circumstances, Mobile ID will even grant access to exterior doors, elevators, and stairwells.
