Building Access

How can I gain access to buildings/facilities?

Your student card is automatically programmed to give you access to the University's main libraries, some study spaces and computer labs.

Graduate students are also automatically granted access to the Graduate Centre in the 1888 building, including after-hours access.

I am unable to access the building/room I need to, what should I do?

You should ask yourself the following:

1. Has my student card expired? If so, you will need to get a replacement card.
2. Is my student card working? To check this, you will need to test your card against a card reader (e.g. at the main entrance door of a building):
   • If the card reader beeps: this means your student card is functional. If there is no beep: your student card is faulty and will need to be replaced.
3. Have I been granted access to this building/room? Refer to your faculty page on building access for more information on which rooms you should be able to access:
   • Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning
   • Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology
   • Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology
   • Melbourne Law School

If you can't see your faculty in this list, contact your faculty or graduate school for assistance.
