UPC access card

The access card has an RFID chip that holds information on the holder and allows them to access buildings and parking lots, clock in and out and use the photocopying services.

New teaching and research staff and administrative and service staff who need it can apply for it at gClauer.

Staff who currently have a physical UPC card may continue to use it as before. If it wears out or you lose it, it will be replaced with an access card.
