Key Card Not Working!
So this afternoon I was leaving Les Prince to get some food, I came back and I held my key card thingy up to get in, it beeped but I dropped my key card and by the time I picked it up the black box turned red so I held it up again and it didn't work. It wouldnt beep or turn green. I was really frustrated I thought it maybe had something to do with the fact that I had just tried to open it a few seconds ago but I tried later that day and it still wouldnt work!!

Is it possible there is a problem with my key card or was it something I did? Has this happened to anyone else? I plan on visiting the residence life office but they dont open for a while. It wont open the games room or the laundry room either.

It sounds like your card has been de-programed somehow, as it isn't working any longer.

Sometimes those cards just give up on life. You can go to the Service Desk in commons to get it fixed/get a new one. They are open 24/7.

When I first moved into Res my card didn't work either. Just go to the service desk and they will fix it up real quick.
