Out with the old and in with the new—a key fob system that is. Familiar to returning students, the former FOB system had students access to their dorms using a small device given to them at the beginning of the semester. This year, students will be able to access entry into their dorms using newly implemented IDs.

Returning students will not be able to access their dorms with their current ids, but instead must go to the conference office for a new ID.

“The cards will be used to get into dorms and facilities they’re supposed to go into for classes, and the PAC,” Conferencing Office Assistant Joyce Grimm, said Tuesday.

Grimm also said for students and staff who do not have meal plans, they can go to the business office and add money to their card. The money on the card can be used to purchase meals at the cafeteria and Grille.

“Staff and students need to have their cards with them at all times for the different activities and events,” she said. “Security will be asking for IDs, and if they [students] don’t have an ID they can’t get in.”
