My ID card won't let me into the lab, can you help?

If your ID card won't let you into the parking lots or dorms or CS labs, your card is probably broken. You need to visit the Access Services department.

If you don't live in the dorms and don't park on campus or aren't sure if your card is authorized, send email to help AT cs.uml.edu.
