Remove card access

One-Line Summary

Use this request to end previously authorized building or door access for a faculty member, staff member, student, or contractor.

When to Use This

  • An employee is departing and their building or room access needs to be revoked
  • A student's employment or access-requiring coursework has ended
  • A sponsored contractor or collaborator's access period has expired or their engagement has ended early
  • A physical key needs to be returned and access deactivated
  • Access was granted in error and needs to be corrected

When NOT to Use This

  • To grant new access: Use Request Card Access or Keys instead.
  • For full account deactivation or employee termination: Contact the IT Service Desk at (207) 725-3030 or use the appropriate HR process — account deactivation is handled separately from card access removal.

Before You Submit

Have the following information ready before submitting:

  • The full name and Bowdoin username of the person whose access should be removed
  • The specific building(s), room(s), or door(s) affected
  • The effective date for the access removal
  • Your name and role as the authorizing supervisor, department head, or coordinator

What Happens Next

The OneCard office will process the access removal and contact you if clarification is needed. For urgent situations requiring immediate revocation — such as a terminated employee or a security concern — contact the OneCard office directly at [OneCard office phone] rather than submitting this form.
