Verkada Pass

Our campus uses Verkada Pass to provide a safe and secure environment for all students, staff, and visitors.

As a student, you will use your mobile phone as a contactless key to access secure buildings or rooms. The Verkada Pass app on your smartphone, serves as your digital key. When you approach a secured door, just open the app or use the phone's Bluetooth to gain access.

This system also helps track who enters specific buildings at any given time, allowing us to maintain a safe campus by identifying and responding to any unauthorized access.

We are looking forward to meeting you on campus soon.
