Departmental Resources

After hours access to Evans Hall

UCPD Access and Control has implemented an Access/ID card system which combines your Cal ID card with cardkey access to authorized building(s) - gaining access requires activation of the card by the department's key controller.

To get your card activated please complete this google form. It will take one to two weeks for UCPD to process the request and activate your card for access.

You must be a Graduate Student in the Economics Department to be eligible for building access.
