Access to MME Buildings

How do I get Access

FOBs can be purchased from the campus book store. You will need to log in to the FEAS IT service desk to open a ticket to request access and register your FOB to your name. Your FOB can be used during your entire time on campus and can be used for most of the buildings. Generally, only Mechanical and Materials Engineering Students will be given access to the MME buildings. This includes students taking MME courses.For access to another campus building, please see the administrative offices of that building.

Remember that your FOB is registered to you. Do not lend it to anyone else. After-hours access is a privilege, please treat it that way. Let us know right away if you lose your FOB
