ID Card Readers and Access Control Systems

Control access to buildings and rooms

Departments and facilities on campus use card reading systems on doors, turnstiles, and elevators to control access to buildings and rooms. Campus Card systems are centrally-maintained by University IT. University IT also coordinates installation and maintenance of new systems and card readers.

Features

Card readers include contactless seos readers. Access can be restricted by day of the week and time of day, and can be set up to provide access on an individual basis, or by department or class list. Scheduling can be centrally programmed by University IT (for a fee), or through subscriber workstations (no charge).

Designed for

Administrative and academic departments

Requirements

Data security

The Campus Card System is a closed, proprietary system that runs on its own hardware and software. To learn more, see Maintenance and protection of Campus Card electronic records on the Security and Confidentiality web page.
