Which areas have controlled access?

Some university facilities use electronic door access systems. These include:

  • Labs
  • Workshops
    Studios
  • Media suites
     

How do I get access to controlled areas?

Your University ID card must be programmed before you can enter controlled access areas.

In most cases, your School will notify the University of your access requirements before your course starts.

  • New students are normally given access when they register.
  • Returning students normally have their access renewed before they return to study.

What should I do if I cannot access a controlled area?

If you are having problems accessing a controlled area, email accesscontrol@herts.ac.uk.

Please include:

  • Your membership number (shown on your ID card)
  • Details of the area you need access to

All access requests must be authorised in writing by the appropriate person, such as:

  • Your Programme Leader
  • Your Programme Tutor
  • Your Line Manager
  • Your Head of Department

Email accesscontrol@herts.ac.uk if you need support with door access or your ID card permissions.
