Q1. How Do I gain Access to a Secure Bicycle Storage Room...

• Security will only encode and activate staff and student smart cards for access to SBSR’s
• First time activation and encoding of a smart card requires Security to have physical possession of the card for 3 days.
• The delay of three days seems to be non-negotiable to allow processing by the encoding staff in security.
• Whilst cards are being issued with “Smart Encoded” written on the bottom of the card, this is only an indicator that they are capable of being encoded with the pre-existence of a chip, but are not yet encoded with UQ’s system.
• After the very first time a card is encoded to comply with the UQ swipe card system, the card can then be activated for subsequent swipe card entries without further encoding.
• Subsequent activations can be done with an email request for activation, which does not require security to have physically possession of the card.

• If your staff / student card has undergone its first encoding and activation process for a separate swipe card access, then activation of swipe card access to SBSR’s is a simple matter of emailing security at swipecards@pf.uq.edu.au with following details:
  • Your name
  • code number written on back of card by security as part of encoding process
  • request to provide access to the Secure Bicycle Storage Rooms at St Lucia campus
    • Security will activate your card for all general access SBSR’s with the one activation.

Q2. How Do I gain Access to Lockers for Clothes Storage...

You can contribute ...to making sure the Locker Budget is not re-allocated by emailing the UQBUG (uqbug@uq.edu.au) with a breif note in support of lockers for UQ Cyclists.
