InstantCard & Higher Learning—a Perfect Match
a simple, secure, & functional solution for your institution
Identity cards are a must for colleges & universities.
Most colleges, large and small, now issue photo ID cards to faculty and students. These are primarily used for identification purposes, but can also be multi-function cards as well. For example, they may have a barcode for library access, or a magstripe for building access. Validity dates for each semester or school year are clearly displayed. While these may not be worn visibly at all times, ID cards are a necessity for accessing on-campus resources.
As you enroll students, you need cards right away.
Don't worry—we have you covered.
With our online app, it’s easy to add the information of new students as they are enrolled—individually, or by uploading a spreadsheet. You may use our API to pull your students’ information directly from your database. Either way, we keep the process as quick and painless as possible.

Attendance Monitoring & Tracking in Professional Certification Programs
Many credential and training programs, especially for adult continuing education, need to track class attendance. The use of “smart” ID cards, with either a smart chip, barcode, or magstripe, can greatly facilitate the check-in/check-out process and automatically create the logs necessary to ensure full compliance. InstantCard can even help you set up a cellphone-based attendance tracking program. Contact us to discuss your exact requirements!
Order cards for 1 student or 10,000 students.
We designed our system to work with any size order.
We designed our system to work with any sized order—giving you the flexibility you need. Card price doesn’t change based on batch size. One of the ways we accomplish this is through our declining balance system.

So, If you have a late enrollment, don’t worry! You may order just one card at a time at the same cost of every other student ID card. It will still shipped same-day, getting to you when you need it.
