ID Badges & Parking

ID Badges & Parking Access

WesternU requires all lab personnel to visibly wear a University ID Badge while on campus. This badge serves as your official identification and grants you access to secured spaces. Below you’ll find policies, procedures, and parking information relevant to research personnel.

📛 ID Badge Policy

Visible at All Times: Badges must be worn while on University premises.
Access Control: Badges grant entry to authorized areas only. Do not share or lend your badge.
Training Required: Badge access will not be granted until required training is completed.

📝 Obtaining a Badge

All badges go through proper channels before being authorized for printing. For volunteers, this is Risk Management. For all others, HR or the Office of Operations will do the paperwork.
Pomona Campus: Visit the Security Desk in the USC Building.
Lebanon Campus: Badges are issued by the Office of Operations for your College or Department.
Forgot Your Badge? Ask your lab supervisor or lab mates for entry. If unavailable, contact Campus Security.
Locked Out? If your badge or keys are locked inside a lab, Campus Security can escort you to retrieve them.
