After you fill out the form, we will complete the registration within two business days, once you have been given access we will send an email to your uMail account notifying you. You will then be able to use your Access card to gain access to the North and South elevators as well as GIS, SCF and Student Commons. The Elevators do not require the use of a pin code, the GIS, SCF and Student Commons do. For elevator access hold your card to the keypad until it reads your card and beeps, then you can select the 3L floor / button. Gaining access to the computing facilities is similar but after the beep you enter the pin code that was listed on your username / password document you received at student orientation.
