When is Door Access Granted?

Door access is granted for Faculty and Staff based on your contract. Access is granted on completion of your work contract (usually on your start date) and and is withdrawn at the end of your employment. Those employees not under a current contract will not have access to doors.

Door access is granted for Students based on their enrollment. For the Summer/Winter semesters, if a student is enrolled in the current or upcoming semester they will maintain access through the Summer/Winter.

What is the default level of door access that is granted?

Faculty, Staff, and Students are given access to main campus building exterior doors (AC, CB, GC, DH, FH, HH, HS, PH, TE, and MC) according to the building's hours of operations. See Building Codes and Hours for individual building information.

How does door access on campus work?

There are 2 main types of door readers on campus:

Onity: Those door readers that you put your card into the door lock on the handle. A green light when you enter and remove your card from the reader signifies that you have access to the door and can open the door.

Proximity: Those door readers that you hold your card against the black square (exterior) or the black part of the door handle where the reader is located. A green light signifies that you have access to the door and can open the door when your card is presented.
