To ensure the integrity of the technology and security of students, faculty, and staff, only one credential can be provisioned and used at any given time. If as a returning student who has a physical CarolinaCard provisions a mobile CarolinaCard, your physical CarolinaCard will automatically be deactivated and will no longer be able to be used.
