Access to premises

Your campus card can be used as an electronic key to open the door of a building, laboratory, office or computer room outside official opening hours. You must have the access rights associated with your campus card. 

The management of access rights is the responsibility of the units (Department, Institute, Centre, Service), and ultimately of Unisep.

Several buildings have card readers. They are installed, for example, at building entrances, offices, laboratories, etc. Two types of card reader have been installed:

• Connected card readers (online)
• Non-connected card readers (offline)

If you present your campus card on a connected card reader, the system checks directly whether the profile associated with your card has the rights to operate the door or not.

With an offline card reader, the card reader is not connected to the network. As a result, the system does not check directly online whether the profile associated with your card has rights, but reads the data written on your campus card. When you receive a new campus card or when your access rights have been changed, it is therefore necessary to write these rights on your campus card..

Updating your access rights is done via a access database. They are available in all buildings with card-reader doors. Access rights are active for seven days.

Using the campus card as an electronic key is relatively simple:

• Before any use, make sure that your campus card is validated.
• Also check that you have access rights to the premises. You can find more information on how to obtain access on this page.

If these two points above are in order:

• Update your access rights to a bollard. (see maps and list)
• Swipe your campus card at the card reader on the door to activate it.
• After seven days, you will need to take your campus card to a kiosk again. Please note that if you use a card reader at the building entrance (white square), your current access times are extended by seven days.

You can find a more detailed description of how to use your campus card on this page.
