Administration

Overall administration of the access control system will be the responsibility of UNG Card Services-Dahlonega. All requests for building access should be routed to UNG Card Services-Dahlonega for processing via the following procedure:

  • Fill out the Access Control Request Form (PDF).
    • You may also request the form from Card Services (ex. 1437). This form will be used for authorizing access to individuals, i.e., students, faculty and staff.
  • Access control request can also be sent to Card Services email address at card-dah@ung.edu.
  • Access control changes will only be made during normal working hours.
  • Access requests will be granted within one business day of receipt of the signed Access Control Request Form or email confirmation.
    • Once access is granted, an email will be sent to the requestor, to all Department Heads with operations in that particular building and to Public Safety. Any questions concerning the granting of access to individuals or change of time zones should be directed to the original requestor.
  • An access control client will be assigned to those buildings that house students or require access level changes during the semester based on student residency.
    • A client is defined as a person that has been granted restricted access levels within the access control system so as to control the time zones and access of persons to a certain building or buildings. Each Client will be trained on the use of the access control system by Card Services and IT staff and will work within guidelines as approved by the vice president of student affairs or their designee.
    • Each client must fill out a Access Control Client Policy, UNG Lenel OnGuard Access Agreement, and a Lenel Application Agreement, that is to be on file at UNG Card Services-Dahlonega.
