The university that I'm at is trying to get new students to use a digital student id that uses google wallet for scanning I think. They aren't giving any new students physical student id's unless they need it for something that doesn't work with the digital ones.

So yeah some people do need google wallet.

Cal state northridge?

Google Wallet works though. It's just NFC and credit card payments that don't. If you can add tickets and passes with barcodes, student ID will work.

The student id's use nfc here. Nothing to scan.
