    Medical students and most Faculty and Staff areas still have readers that require swipe card access. As a result these populations are not yet eligible for mobile ID.
  • With support for iPhones, Apple Watches, and Android devices, which means your GOCard is always with you.
  • Works at most places on or near the Main and Law Georgetown campuses where the physical GOCard is accepted.
  • It’s easy to use – simply hold your iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone near the same reader where you would tap/swipe your physical GOCard.

    What is DUO Two Factor: Georgetown Duo is a service that provides an extra level of security for your Georgetown password and data. Georgetown Duo works using “two-factor authentication”; after you log in to a Georgetown Web page, such as your Georgetown Google Apps account, Duo sends a request to your mobile device for you to approve the login.
