Classroom Tech Assist is your general audio/visual and IT support team. We seek to assist with your technical needs so that your class sessions progress smoothly and uninterrupted by providing on-call help, troubleshooting, and training. In case, something does not go as planned; we are committed to providing full support. We have installed a “Help Button” in each Hyflex classroom podium that instructors can press to get immediate support if a technical issue arises. If you would like to request technical support with an onsite technician in the classroom or your office before or on your first day of class, please make an appointment on Microsoft Bookings appointment for the Orange campus or Rinker campus.

What is a Wi-Fi card?

Traditional Chapman ID Card holds all of your account information on the magnetic stripe on the back. However, over the past couple of years, we have also started issuing Wi-Fi cards to select groups of doors on campus for door access.

How do I know if I have a Wi-Fi card or not?

Wi-Fi cards and traditional Magnetic Stripe cards look almost identical, but Wi-Fi cards have one visual signifier that is not on the traditional card. There is a long number printed underneath the magnetic stripe on a Wi-Fi card. If you have this number, you have a Wi-Fi card!

 How do I use a Wi-Fi card?

Please follow the instructions below to use your Wi-Fi ID card. Please keep in mind the lock shown in the picture below is a test lock, so that it may look different, but the process is the same:

1. Place the card onto the block and hold it in place as displayed below for 3-5 seconds until the LED is activated.
   • You may have to move the card around to find the “SweetSpot,” so please evaluate your ID Card. (Please do not wave or lift the card immediately after applying to the block.)
   • Below, the LED glows Green, indicating access is allowed.
     
     
2. The door will either open or remain locked.
   • Green LED indicates that access to the door is permitted and that it will unlock.
   • Red LED indicates that access to the lock is blocked and will remain locked.
   • Yellow LED indicates that batteries are low. For a Yellow LED, please submit a Facilities Request to have the lock serviced.

Important note: If you require access to any Wi-Fi lock, please have your assigned Building Administrator submit a request for access on your behalf, as all door access must be approved.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@chapman.edu.
