Electronic Locks
UWSP uses electronic locks to provide access to many spaces on campus including most exterior doors and many high-traffic or high-risk interior spaces. These electronic locks provide campus with the ability to more easily schedule and control access to spaces with lower management costs when compared to traditional keyed locks.
Electronic locks are supported though collaboration between Facility Services, Information Technology, and University Police and Security Services.
Lock Access Card Types
PointCards
All UWSP students, faculty, and staff are issued a PointCard which serves as their access card for electronic locks.
Door Badges
Contractors, contracted partners, and volunteers are generally issued door badges to use as their access card for electronic locks. In some situations these individuals may instead be issued a PointCard which would include their lock access.
Lost Cards
Lost PointCards
You should immediately deactivate all services on your lost or stolen PointCard by following the directions on the
Reporting a Lost PointCard webpage.
If you reside in a residence hall and require temporary access until you can obtain a replacement PointCard, please reach out to your hall's front desk, RA, or HD.
If you find your PointCard and have not yet replaced it, please see I Found My PointCard for how to reactivate your card services.
