Card Access

By default, staff and faculty will be granted general (exterior) access to academic and administrative buildings (not including Campus Center, Leonard Center, or the Library). Faculty and staff who require additional access to office space, labs or classrooms, should contact their Department Coordinator.

All students will receive access to academic buildings during school hours with extended study hours as well as access to the Library link. Students living in on-campus housing will be given access to their Resident Halls. Additional acess can be requested through your Department Coordinator.

Note for Department Coordinators and other authorized department requesters: To avoid unauthorized usage, the link for the online card access request form is not publicly available. If you do not have the link yet, please email [email protected].

Resolving Issues:

  • Please note, credit cards, enhanced driver’s licenses, RF blocking holders, etc. may block your access card from working properly. If you are experiencing an issue, please try your access card without these items.

I think a card reader or door lock is not working properly.

Report the issue by submitting a work order request.  If the malfunctioning lock creates a security risk (door is unlocked), call Security immediately at 651-696-6555.

I lost my MacPass.

You can deactivate your MacPass by going through your GET funds account online or using the GET Mobile app.  Deactivating a lost card will prevent unauthorized charges against your account and misuse of your campus access.  If you find your card, it can be activated again using the same app, otherwise you can go to card services and get a replacement card (replacement card fee $5.00). Visit MacPass, GET Mobile and Mac Money for more information.
