’Cane Card and Access Control

Lakeside Village Residents will have 24-hour swipe access to all elevator lobbies and elevator doors as well as all ground floor lobby stairway doors. Additionally, residents will have Outdoor Terraces swipe access from 8:00 a.m. to midnight each day.

Resident students will be required to swipe for entry at the exterior door of the elevator lobby, and then swipe again either at the elevator door or the stairwell door.

Students are still expected to carry their 'Cane Cards and use them as the primary method of accessing all authorized spaces.
