Adding Your J-Card to Your Mobile Device

You are nearing the culmination of your academic journey at Johns Hopkins; but before you can walk across the stage, your J-Card is required during check-in before the ceremony.

If You Already Have a J-Card

Whether you have the physical card, or a version on your mobile phone, please remember you need to bring that identification with you to access the KSAS Master’s Graduation Ceremony.

If You Do Not Have a J-Card

The recommended approach at this time is for you to secure the mobile version of the J-Card.

5 Steps to Set Up Your Mobile J-Card:

  1. Access your myIT login code
    To get started, make sure your myIT login code is available in the Microsoft Authenticator application. Do you need help to set-up this multi-factor authentication process?
  2. Download the eAccounts application
    Visit your phone’s App Store to download the eAccounts app to your mobile device from the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store.
  3. Sign in with your JHED credentials
    Open the eAccounts app and use your JHED ID and password to login.
  4. Connect the J-Card to your phone’s digital wallet
    Follow the prompts and then add your J-Card to your digital wallet. View instructions to add your J-Card to Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or Samsung Wallet.
  5. Confirm the setup was successful
    Open your wallet to ensure your Mobile J-Card is visible. Once added, your new ID can be used wherever J-Cards are accepted by holding your device near the reader.

If you have any questions about this process, please email [email protected].

If Your JHED ID Credentials Have Expired

Perhaps you completed your degree during the Summer or Fall semesters in 2025, and now you are being asked to create a new Mobile J-Card. If this is the case, and your university credentials are no longer accessible, you will need to be prepared to present at least one government-issued photo identification at check-in.
