Generic Access Cards
We recommend the use of generic (no photo) access cards for students and non-employees requiring access to MDCL. Cards can be requested via axiomrep@mcmaster.ca Cards are $10 each when ordering 9 or less or $6/card when ordering 10 or more. A chartfield will need to be provided before the cards are approved. The cards will be available for pick-up from the Parking Office in T32. To have cards programmed follow the instructions noted above.
Note: Cards can be reused and reprogrammed for new staff members. Generic cards do not replace the need to carry some form of photo ID...e.g. student card, government-issued photo ID.
Working@ McMaster Photo ID Cards for Non-Employees (Graduate Students, Thesis Students, Volunteers)
There is a charge of $15 to obtain working@mcmaster photo ID card for non-employees. Requests must be submitted by the Supervisor with the reasoning why this card is needed, the access required and an expiry date for the access (as well as the employee number and a photo). A chartfield is also needed for the charge of the card(s).
