What is it?
The Mount Holyoke College ID (OneCard) is a multi-purpose photo ID card issued to all incoming students, faculty, staff, and eligible community members. Among other things, your OneCard provides access to the residence halls, academic, and administrative buildings on campus that are appropriate for you to be able to access.
Some buildings are only accessible with an authorized OneCard, where others may have "open hours" where the doors are unlocked and open to the public.
Requests for access changes must come from a faculty or staff member who controls the relevant space. Students may not request access changes.
Who can use it?
Baseline access for individuals is provided automatically based on your role at the college (ex. student/faculty/staff), relevant departmental affiliation (ex. HR/Biology/Art History), and/or assigned residence hall (ex. North Rockies/1837/Torrey).
- Additional access for faculty and staff can be requested by supervisors/department chairs on behalf of their employees
- Additional access for students can be requested by supervisors and/or faculty members or department coordinators who manage the space in question
"Open hours" are set by faculty/staff who manage each space.
How do I get it?
No action is required for your baseline building access to be added to your card.
