The University is upgrading building security systems by installing new electronic access card readers (SALTO) in place of all existing keyscan card readers. This includes the gated parking lots. Replacement will begin Monday, August 7 and will take approximately two weeks.

In preparation for the transition, everyone will need to ensure that they have an updated campus ID card as shown here.  Only the new campus card will work, and instead of swiping the card it will need to be held to the scan device. If you don't have an updated card, you will need to visit the front desk at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre or the Registrar's Office. Please bring your old ID card to return—there will be no replacement fee.

If you already have an updated ID card, the first time you use a SALTO access point to enter a building, please hold your card to the device for approximately eight seconds, until the light stops flashing; this is programming your card. If you have to get an updated ID card, then you will have to visit the Security Services Office (Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm) to have it programmed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at jmacphail@upei.ca or 902-566-6034.
