Building Access and Security

Overview

Your UT ID card is your key for accessing all iSchool managed buildings.  While you may also receive physical keys to certain iSchool rooms, the primary entrances to campus buildings require a current UT ID.  For information on obtaining your UT ID card, please refer to the campus ID Center's Service Portal page.  More information on the UT ID card and building access is available on the Service Portal here. 

All new UT ID cards have a built-in chip that is programmed for use with the Building Access Control System (BACS) system. These cards allow you to access certain restricted areas, buildings and rooms on campus. If you need access to a restricted area, your card will need to be programmed by your Department Badge Administrator to grant you access to the restricted area. Proximity ID cards are issued by the ID Center but each department grants access to individual users.

Access

Faculty and Staff

Your Department Badge Administrator will ensure that you have access to all of the iSchool's badge accessible spaces.  If you have any issues using your badge for entry, please notify help@ischool.utexas.edu. 

Students

All enrolled students and iSchool course takers will have building access granted on the first day of classes each semester.  If you have any issues accessing iSchool spaces with your ID card, please notify help@ischool.utexas.edu.
