If you have been authorized to receive a "proximity ID card", then you should see Ben Fest if you need it activated. He will make a copy of your school ID and ask for your EID. You may be asked to justify your need to have a proximity card, so be prepared to supply him with a faculty or staff contact.
Winship has one entrance that can be accessed at any time of day or night with your proximity card. This is the east entrance – the one that overlooks the creek next to San Jacinto Blvd. You must swipe your ID in front of the reader and it will make an audible beep to indicate that you can enter or exit the building.
Proximity card issuance is limited to those people who have a legitimate need to have all hours access to the building. Generally speaking, faculty, staff, and certain graduate students are issued proximity cards as needed.
