This upgrade, championed by late Senator Larry Selders, lets students store their ID alongside driver’s licenses and vaccine records, making campus life smoother from library checkouts to event entry. While the LA Wallet app already works nationwide—from airports to federal buildings—adding student IDs is the next logical step. LSU and other systems are evaluating vendors and costs (estimates range from $100K to $800K), with full rollout likely delayed until after the fall semester. This move signals a major leap toward modern campus tech, and we’re watching to see how it transforms student life across the state.
