About HornetCard Access

Southern Polytechnic State University HornetCard Access System is a campus-wide system that allows people to use their HornetCard to access various buildings on campus.

Possession of a HornetCard in and of itself will not constitute access to a building. Departments located in buildings using HornetCard Access will determine which individuals have authorization to access their building. SPSU enhances building security by limiting access to those students, faculty and staff that need to access a specific building.

Requesting Access

To request access into a room that is electronically locked or has an alarm code, please complete the HornetCard Access Form. Once the form has been completed and signed by authorized personnel please submit to hornetcardaccess@spsu.edu or Jessica Fellows, located in the Campus Services Office.

Student Academic Access Requests

Academic access can be given out to groups of students according to major or specific courses. Students are only eligible to receive access if they are currently enrolled in courses for the applicable academic term. The student access will begin to be assigned after the add/drop date of the applicable semester. Student access will last from then until the last day of finals of the applicable semester.

If your department is interested in authorizing students to have electronic door/alarm access based off of their major or a course they are enrolled in please contact our access coordinator at hornetcardaccess@spsu.edu. If you wish to request access for a student(s) not based on their major or course they are enrolled in then you will need to follow the general access procedure and submit a HornetCard Access Request Form for each student you wish to have access.

Student Residential Access Request

All residential access will be assigned to HornetCards based on the students Housing contract terms. If you have any questions about living on campus or your Housing contract please contact the Housing Department at www.spsu.edu/housing.

Contractor Access Requests

Contractors and Vendors must request card access into authorized areas. The department requesting access for the contractor will need to complete the Contractors Card Access Form. The form must be completed and submit to the Campus Services Office before access will be granted.
