U Card access

Card access policy

Most Office of Classroom Management (OCM) classrooms are equipped with U Card door locks. These locks are programmed to automatically open and remain unlocked during standard hours of operation. During the standard class day, no special keys or cards are needed to enter the classroom.

Whoever accesses the facilities outside of OCM classroom hours is responsible for following all rules and regulations of the University. Find more information about the University’s Building Access policy.

Requesting access

You can request card access privileges for OCM classrooms.

Access requests must be submitted and approved by a supervisor or department administrator at least 72 hours in advance of the desired activation date. The request will require the following:

Back of U Card with 10-digit U Card number and iClass number highlighted.
  • First and last name
  • Internet ID (x.500)
  • Student or staff ID number
  • U Card number
  • iCLASS number
  • Building name
  • Room number
  • Access duration (start and end dates)

OCM submits all U Card access requests to the Department of Central Security (DCS). It may take DCS 48 hours to process the request. OCM will send you a confirmation email once your U Card has been programmed.
