Swipe Card Access Summary

The following information describes the lab and building access policy for CSE undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students.

CSE provides you with swipe card access for your individual benefit only. Please do not allow unauthorised tail gaters entry to the facilities at any time.

Any questions or problems relating to the access described here should be directed to the CSE Help Desk. We can check your eligibility for access and send relevant details to the appropriate parties on your behalf for processing.

Please note, unless instructed otherwise, you do NOT need to approach Security Services yourself - your card will be encoded electronically for you. You are required to use other free-access labs in the meantime if you are eligible for access and it is yet to be enabled for you.

All other enquiries (including staff and postgraduate research student enquiries) should be directed to CSE Facilities, or check with the CSE Help Desk if unsure.

All access relies on the student being in posession of a current student ID card.

Where the term after-hours is used, this refers to the time that the labs are no longer in free access but are usable according to lab opening times at:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/help/computing/facilities/index.html#times

In weeks 1-14 and StuVac of sessions 1 and 2 , all general purpose labs, and the OMB labs, are secured between 08:00 and 09:00 and from 19:00 Mon-Fri and remain secured at all times on S-S and Public Holidays. They require after-hours swipe access to be accessed outside these times and for the duration of lab opening hours.

After-hours access is not required outside these periods due to reduced load and hours-of-operation.

Where the term general is used, this refers to swipe access to labs which remain secured at all times. Access for these labs will be arranged for the relevant times as deemed necessary.

It should be noted that once the labs are officially CLOSED (according to the published schedule or by special notice), you should not enter the labs; this applies whether or not your student ID card allows you access.
