Access to controlled areas using your card
I cannot get access to my building using my card. Why?
All University cards are pre-accredited to permit access to the Main Library in George Square and other 'open access' libraries.
Student default area access
All student cards additionally are pre-accredited for 'after-hours' entry to computing labs which have access controlled doors, currently:
- King's Buildings Centre
- Hugh Robson Building(lower ground floor Open Access Lab) in George Square
- Geography Department in High School Yards
Staff default area access
By default, staff and visitor cards are not pre-accredited with access to any area other than the Main Library and other 'open access' areas.
Access to other areas
Access to unaccredited areas is at the discretion of the department concerned. Your department can advise whether the use of your University card applies to doors under it's control and give authorisation for such accreditation, if applicable.
Any access to areas, other than 'open access' labs and 'open access' libraries can only be requested from the Door Manager located within the specific school, college or support unit.
PIN access
You may be required to enter your PIN to access some controlled areas.
