As you have already been made aware of, the college is moving to an automated door access system allowing you to open the MAIN door to your residence hall.
Your room keys can also be used to gain entry into the building for a limited period of time while we complete the first phase of the pilot. With this in mind, you will need to have your existing ID Card replaced. Please come to the ID Office, with your current ID Card to obtain the new card. You will need your current ID Card in order to not incur a charge for the replacement. We will be happy to update your photo at this time as well.
A large number of you have already been issued a chip card, and therefore will not need to report to the ID Office. In order to determine if you're carrying a new chip card, you will notice on the rear lower left corner of the card that there is an HID logo. If your ID Card contains no logo, please come to the ID Office with your existing card to obtain the replacement.
Schedule for re-carding (please adhere to this schedule based on the building in which you live):
Terrace 5, Emerson - Tuesday Sept. 30th through Thursday October 2nd
East Tower, Garden 25, Rowland - Monday October 6th through Wednesday October 8th
The ID Office is open from 9 am -4 pm, Monday through Friday.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
ID Office
