Mobile Readers and Event Reporting

Mobile readers allow you to track attendance or restrict participation to a designated group of WVU-affiliated students or staff. A card tap reader is provided which allows the application to automatically read ID card data by tapping, eliminating the need to manually enter an ID number. You retain the ability to enter the WVU ID number for any individuals who may have lost or forgotten their ID card. Custom reports can be produced after the event showing directory information (name, email, etc.) for attendees.

Submit a request to purchase or borrow a mobile reader for an event, or request an attendance report for a past event where mobile readers were used. There are a limited number of readers that are loaned on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Requirements and cost

Your event must be WVU sponsored, have Wi-Fi internet access (mobile hotspots can be checked out if approved) and all attendees must have a WVUID card to be tracked. Please note that if others attend your event, alternate methods of collecting their information would have to be provided.

There is no charge to borrow a mobile reader for your event or request an attendance report. If you are interested in purchasing a mobile reader, a technician will contact you to discuss available options and mobile reader licensing information.
