Obtaining security swipe card access
Information for teaching staff
Within each academic department, certain administrative staff are authorised to apply to Campus Security, on your behalf, to obtain your swipe card access to allocated spaces. Please contact your departmental administration assistant as soon as you can, so that they may direct you to the person who can apply for your card on your behalf.
Information for departmental administrative staff
The following guidelines are for departmental administrative staff with responsibilities for regular liaison with Campus Security and the Locksmith.
Campus security charge $9 per swipe card. Please complete this request form [XLS 21kb 1 page] and raise the required internal order in THEMIS. Email your completed request form to access-control@unimelb.edu.au - Campus Security prefer to receive electronic copies of the form. Forms will only be processed if they are sent by the appropriate departmental contact.
We recommend that applications are sent to Campus Security at least three weeks before the start of the semester.
Sometimes, tutors are not appointed until the second week of the semester, when class sizes are finalised. In such instances, it will not always be possible for Campus Security to process request forms, at short notice, in time for the required class. We therefore recommend that you consider applying for cards for potential tutors, in advance of class sizes being finalised.
Campus Security cannot issue cards to "blank" names, as this creates an insecure environment.
If you have any queries, please email: access-control@unimelb.edu.au
