Card Services

TAMIU is deploying a card access system throughout multiple locations on campus. The system utilizes the magnetic stripe on the TAMIU OneCard (employee/student identification card).

When the buildings with exterior card access are closed to the public, you will need your TAMIU OneCard to gain entry. Areas equipped with card access that require a higher level of security will remain locked at all times and require card swipe.

Instructions for Using the Card Readers

• Swipe your TAMIU OneCard with the magnetic stripe facing the LEDs on the reader.
• If you are authorized to use the doorway, the door will unlock and the light will stay green. If you do not open the door within 15 seconds, the door will relock.
• If the light immediately turns red, then you are not authorized for this doorway.

TAMIU Employees Requesting access to a Building or Room

To request access for a door with electronic ID card access you must be a full time employee.  A Card Access Authorization Form needs to be submitted via a laserfich form https://wvlfforms.tamiu.edu/Forms/card-access.  You may login with your employee Net ID and password.

TAMIU students Requesting Door Access to a Room
