VPN - Off-Campus Access to ECS Resources

Key Fobs

ECS Key Fobs - What Are They and How Do I Get One?

We strongly suggest that you get a key fob to grant you access to the ECS resources you need, as well as to keep you and your fellow students safe.

Key fobs give ECS students access to Riverside Hall and the Tschannen Engineering Building after hours, as well as specific labs related to your major. While some labs are unlocked during business hours, other labs are ONLY accessible via key fob. Furthermore, some labs are specific to certain majors and without a key fob you will always be reliant on other students with keyfobs to let you in.

Instructions

Instructions to get an ECS Student Key Fob can be found on the ECS Key Fob Sharepoint Page. Please use your full "@csus.edu" username to access the instruction page.
