    How to Update your Card Using a Hotspot<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Watch a video on using the locks.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Find any Hotspot or on campus (usually located outside building entrances).<\/li>\n
    2. Hold your card still in front of the Hotspot. A blue light indicates that the update is in progress.<\/li>\n
    3. The update is complete when the light turns green.<\/li>\n
    4. Be sure all lights and sounds are off before removing your card from the Hotspot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I Can’t Open Any Door Inside My Building!
      \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Did you follow someone in, or was the exterior door unlocked?<\/em>
        \nIf it’s been awhile since you last updated your card, it may have expired. Go back outside and hit a Hotspot (unlock an exterior door to the building) to reactivate your card.<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Did someone hold the door open for you while you were updating your card\/unlocking an exterior door?<\/em><\/div>\n
        If you pulled your card away too quickly, before the lights stopped, to catch the door being held for you, you may have broken your card. Go back to a Hotspot and update it again.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        Avoid Being Locked Out of Your Dorm Room<\/strong><\/div>\n
        Do not hang anything on the inside handle of your door.<\/div>\n
        This can prevent you from opening it from the outside and will require a visit from a locksmith.<\/div>\n
