Identification
Your Deacon OneCard has your photo, name and University ID Number for use as an identification tool similar to state driver’s license or identification cards. It is your responsibility to carry your valid Deacon OneCard with you at all times. You must present your Deacon OneCard to any University official upon demand. During emergencies or special occasions, you may be required to have your Deacon OneCard visible at all times.
Card Access
All residence halls are locked twenty-four hours per day for your safety and security. For added safety and security, entries and alarms from the card access system may be monitored at the University Police office twenty-four hours a day.
As an undergraduate student, a valid Deacon OneCard will allow access to all residence halls on campus from 7:00 AM until Midnight daily. From midnight until 7:00 AM daily, access will be limited to the residents of the particular residence hall or suite.
A valid Deacon OneCard will also allow you access to the Library for after-hours study (except during break periods), the Fitness Center during their business hours. During your tenure at Wake Forest University, you may be allowed card access to certain labs, classrooms or other areas on campus. Some approved University faculty and staff also have access to the residence halls during various hours of the day.
If the card reader light is solid red, you will need to use your Deacon OneCard for access. After placing your Deacon OneCard on the reader, the light indicator will turn green and unlock the door briefly if access is allowed to that area. If the card reader light is green, the door is unlocked. If the light flashes red, access is not allowed. If the light flashes red and access to the area should be allowed or if the light continues to flash red, please contact the Deacon OneCard Office at 336.758.1949 or University Police at 336.758.5591 for assistance.
