U Cards for Building Access
University policy states that all students, faculty, and staff must keep their U Card on them at all times. Additionally, many University buildings, including Ford Hall, will no longer have public hours (i.e., the doors will not be unlocked, so you will need a UCard to swipe in).
If you do not have an up-to-date U Card, you will need to visit the U Card Office in Coffman Union to have it replaced. How do you know whether your card is up-to-date? An up-to-date U Card has a Smart Card number, which is a six-digit number above the magnetic stripe on your U Card after an asterisk. To see more information on current U Cards, see the About The U Card page.
If you update your U Card, you will also need to submit a new Building Access Request to ensure you will have after-hours access to Ford Hall.
Masking and Social Distancing
Face masks are no longer required in any University space unless officially designated by the University as a “masks required” space. The University expects all community members to respect those who choose to wear a mask, as well as those who choose not to wear one. Review the University’s Face Mask Protocol.
