Building and lab access
All students will be given a keycard, which will give them 24-hour access to the building and relevant computing laboratories. Keycards will be distributed by security.
Haven't received a keycard?
You need to gain approval from our Faculty's Student Administration Centre to confirm you are allowed to access the required area. Once you have done so, head to Campus Infrastructure Services (CIS) to obtain your keycard. They will require a deposit of $25 from students and non-permanent staff. CIS can be found here; CIS contact page
