Retirees

Using Your Spartan Card

Parking

Your Spartan Card can be used to unlock parking gates once you obtain the appropriate parking permit. Retirees are allowed one complimentary retiree parking permit. For information on obtaining a parking permit and retiree parking privileges, please visit Parking Permits website.

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.
