Employee Access Cards
All McMaster University employees on payroll are eligible for a photo ID access card. Please bring your employee number and government-issued photo ID (e.g. health card, driver’s license). All requests for employee ID cards are verified in Mosaic for valid employment. Non-employees including students, volunteers, visitors or other categories may receive an access card (photo or blank) on a cost-recovery basis. Please refer to the ID card policy (PDF) and contact Building Management for more information.
If I require my card to gain access into a card reader door, how do I do this?
Your supervisor needs to send an email to axiomrep@mcmaster.ca Security Technology Administrator, Parking and Security Services for your card to be programmed for that specific area.
Replacement cards (lost or damaged) are $20.
