Summary

Today's universities are reimagining campus life around a single expectation: seamless, secure, and intelligent access from the moment students arrive to the moment they graduate. From residence halls and classrooms to libraries, athletic facilities, dining venues, and parking structures, students, faculty, and staff expect a unified experience that meets them where they are—on the device already in their pocket.

Join Salto and American School & University for a practical look at how leading institutions are building the connected campus. Drawing on real-world deployments managing millions of users across tens of thousands of openings, this session walks through the full journey: selecting the right access partner, navigating integration with housing platforms like StarRez, video systems like Milestone, and campus identity providers, securing stakeholder buy-in, and measuring success after go-live. We'll examine how mobile credentials, Apple Wallet keys, SVN data-on-card technology, and modern visitor management converge to create a frictionless experience without sacrificing security or compliance.

Key Takeaways:

How to evaluate access control partners and platforms for a multi-decade campus investment
Strategies for unifying residence halls, academic buildings, and auxiliary spaces under one credential
Integration approaches across housing, video surveillance, and identity management systems
Best practices for student, staff, contractor, and walk-in visitor onboarding
