Campus ID Programs Run on Specialist ID

From flagship state universities to community colleges, campus card offices, departments, and clinical programs buy the accessories that keep one-card systems working: holders that protect campus cards through years of swipes and taps, lanyards in school colors, and badge buddies for clinical cohorts.

What Colleges and Universities Order Most

Open-faced rigid holders: the AH-075 style single-card holder is a campus-card office staple — it protects the card while leaving it readable and swipeable.

Half-card swipe holders: rigid vertical holders that expose the magstripe for dining, door, and library swipes without removing the card.

Custom lanyards in school colors: bookstore, orientation, and athletics programs order branded lanyards by the thousand.

Badge buddies for clinical programs: student nurse and allied-health role identifiers for hospital rotations.

Purchasing for Universities

We make procurement simple for universities and colleges: volume discounts, itemized quotes, purchase orders, and fast tax-exempt setup — email your certificate and/or PO to Sales@SpecialistID.com. For multi-site programs we help you standardize SKUs by role and coordinate reorders. Free samples are available on many products for businesses and organizations — use our Sample Request page or contact us. Free shipping to the mainland US on orders over $99, with expedited options available.

Campus ID Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with university procurement systems?
Yes — we accept university POs and can register as a supplier in your procurement portal; quotes are itemized for easy approval.

Which holder fits our one-card system?
If cards are swiped, choose half-card or open-faced holders; if tapped, any rigid holder works — we will match the holder to your readers.

Can departments order separately?
Yes — departments, housing, and athletics can each order on their own POs while keeping consistent campus branding.

Do you support student nurse programs?
Yes — stock and custom badge buddies identify clinical students to hospital staff and patients on rotations.
