News and Announcements

Card Access - Dean's Office Notice

The Social Science building card swipe entry/security system is in the process of being upgraded and is expected to be completed by the beginning of September. Check for HID iClass on the back bottom corner of your Western One photo ID card. If you do not have this on your card please go to Student Central room 1120 in the Western Student Services building (WSS) to obtain a new HID iCLASS Proximity Security card (you do not have to complete the form). The new card will be required to get after hours access to the building, to the computing labs and to any classroom or lab that has card swipe access control so it is very important that you get the new card as soon as possible.
