Has my building access been updated?
As noted in 2024, the University is upgrading the prox-fob based Hirsch-Identiv access control system and HID readers to a modern WatCard-based ICT access control system. All existing Hirsch-identiv access control units and HID readers are being replaced campus wide.
Though this process is expected complete in May 2026, you can now check the status of a building's upgrade by visiting the Access control refresh project status page.
Reminders about this work
- Access control administrators will be contacted for detailed planning as we progress towards and through each building.
- All faculty and staff are encouraged to get a WatCard now if you do not already have one.
- During this upgrade process, user requested access control expansion within buildings will be paused.
