Door Access

Your Spartan Card can be used for access to secured doors and areas across the campus. Identity Services does NOT add door access onto the cards.

Door access, such as access to a specific academic building or office, can be added by the department that desires you to have that access. Please reach out to the department and they will get the appropriate door access added.

When using your Spartan Card for door access, please make sure to take it out of your wallet or bag. Another card you are carrying could interfere with the card reader.

For more information on door access, visit Access Control Website.

Dining Plans

Your Spartan Card can be used for access to dining halls across the campus, once you have purchased a meal plan. For information on dining halls, meal plans and menus, please visit Eat@State. If you wish to purchase a meal plan, you can do so online at  Eat@State or in-person at the ID Office and other on-campus locations.
