Equipment Room Access

Follow these instructions to get card access.It should take less than 5 minutes. You or your PI may be contacted before access is processed.

1. Go to https://plantservices.vanderbilt.edu.
2. Click on “Door Access Request”.
3. Enter your VUnet ID & password when prompted.
4. In the drop down menu column titled “Building”, select “MCN”.
5. Click the “Edit door list” button directly to the right of the now selected “MCN”.
6. In the window that pops up, go near the bottom of the list and click a little green check next to “U-3202 Equipment Resource Room”. Click on “Submit”.
7. You now return to the original access screen. Fill in your personal info -
1. SSN is done with 3 digits in the first box, 2 in the second and 4 in the third. I cannot see your SSN in the request.

2. Use Vanderbilt campus extensions for phone numbers.

3. Just use building name and room number for address.

4. “User name” is your actual name, do not use your VUnet ID.

5. Email entered should be your Vanderbilt email.

8. When all is filled in, click on the “Submit for Approval” button at the bottom. I usually grant requests quickly (usually a few minutes) and Debb Allen in Plant Services will enter you into the system. You should receive an email telling you when you have been approved. Expect access to take effect within 2 business days of getting the acceptance email.

If this does not work for some reason, contact me. An email to the administrator usually settles post-request problems in a day.
