CVAD Students, faculty and staff that are unable to swipe into the building after-hours with a current UNT ID card will need to visit the key shop on campus.

The key shop will verify that the magnetic swipe on the back of your ID card is coded correctly. The key shop hours are Monday–Friday, 8am-5pm.
