........Fun stuff @ uts-
.......Security and card access- The FACULTY that you are in determines which areas you can access with your card (after hours+ some labs).
- If you are in the science and business faculty, you can use the card to access labs and rooms in that faculty.
- Take your ID card to the student centre in building 10, and they will give you the needed card access
