ACCESS CARD SYSTEM INSTALLED OVER BREAK

The School of Dentistry has installed the Access Card System over the holiday break. Entry to the building is now restricted to USCSD faculty, staff and students.

Patients and visitors to the school are now required to use the west entrance on 34th Street, which will be open from 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The system utilizes the USC card’s magnetic strip to identify entrants. Only cards issued to USCSD faculty, staff and students will open the perimeter doors. Keys used to access the school in the past will no longer gain entry to the building.

Individuals who possess USC cards without magnetic strips will need to replace their existing card. Part-time employees who never received a card may contact USC card at (213) 740-8709 to do so. Volunteers working at the School of Dentistry may call the human resources office at (213) 740-0435 to make arrangements to pick up their card. Supervisors who employ part-time student workers at the School of Dentistry may email their name and student ID number to Joseph Scarpine at scarpine@usc.edu to activate their cards.

Similar keycard systems are currently used at several schools throughout USC. “This system will really create a safer environment here at the School of Dentsitry,” says facilities manager Joseph Scarpine.

Individuals with questions or concerns regarding the new system may contact Scarpine at x01092 or via email at scarpine@usc.edu
