What identification must students use to access their residence hall?

Students must use the Cougar Card to access their residence hall because it serves as the primary identification and access mechanism for on-campus facilities. The Cougar Card is specifically designed for students and includes features such as access control to residence halls, which enhances security by ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter these living spaces.

While a Student ID Card may seem similar, it may not hold the same access capabilities, as different institutions may have varying functions assigned to their ID systems. The Residence Hall Key can be useful for entry into individual rooms, but it typically complements access through electronic means rather than serving as the main identification method. A Driver's License, while a valid form of identification, is generally not issued by the institution and may not grant access to university facilities. Therefore, the Cougar Card is the most appropriate choice for students needing access to their residence halls.
