EDUCATION IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS
Smarter Identification for Modern Campuses
From staff and student ID cards to access credentials, visitor management and onsite card issuance, Fairfield helps education organisations create practical identification solutions built around their campus, people and existing systems.
Whether you operate a single campus or multiple sites, we can help simplify credential issuance, improve visibility and support secure access across your organisation.
BUILT FOR EDUCATION
Identification Designed Around Campus Life
Universities and colleges can have thousands of students, staff, contractors and visitors moving between buildings, departments and facilities every day. Identification credentials may be used for far more than visual identification. Depending on the technologies already in place, they can support physical access, libraries, printing, payments, accommodation, attendance and other campus services. Fairfield ID Solutions provides independent advice, card printing technology, smart credentials, accessories and supporting services designed around each organisation’s existing infrastructure and operational requirements.

ONE CARD. LESS COMPLEXITY.
Bring Compatible Campus Services Together
ONE PERSON. ONE CREDENTIAL.
Students and staff can accumulate multiple cards, passes and fobs for different campus systems. Where technologies are compatible, Fairfield’s One Card approach can help consolidate multiple functions onto a single credential. Depending on your existing infrastructure, a single credential may potentially support applications such as identification, physical access, library services, printing, payments, accommodation or other campus systems.
Fewer cards and fobs
Simpler management
Lower replacement costs
Reduced plastic use
Student convenience

PROFESSIONAL CARD PRINTING
High-Quality Credentials Built for Daily Campus Use
Student and staff cards are frequently handled, carried in wallets, presented at readers and used throughout the academic year. Reliable card printing equipment and durable credentials can help maintain a professional appearance while reducing avoidable reprints.

How Secure Is Your Campus Card Technology?
Many education organisations have access credentials that have been in use for years. Some older card technologies can potentially be copied or cloned using inexpensive equipment, creating unnecessary security risk. Fairfield can help organisations review their existing credential technology and identify options for moving to more secure card technologies where appropriate.

The One Card approach can also reduce the number of separate plastic cards and fobs where technologies are compatible.

Whether you’re reviewing student credentials, replacing ageing card printers, improving campus access, planning enrolment or looking to reduce the number of cards and fobs your people carry, Fairfield can help identify the right approach.
