Smarten up your card
Staff members will be able to exchange their University card for a new smartcard at a series of roadshows run by Information Services.
The roadshows will be running at various University locations from January to March.
Staff, students and visitors who still need to exchange their existing card can drop in at their convenience.

Smartcard benefits
More than half of the University’s staff, students and visitors have now replaced their card with the new smartcard.
The smartcard contains a microchip, which can be used for cashless catering and contactless door entry, where facilities exist, and speed lane access to the Main Library.
Existing access to services including library facilities, gym membership and building access permissions will automatically carry across to your new card.
