Centre Facilities and ServicesCentre SupervisorMr David Bell IT SupportMr Colin Rose Registration and 24-hour AccessThe facilities and services at the Research Graduate Centre are available to all currently enrolled Monash research students. Anyone who wishes to use the Centre must complete a Centre Registration Form (24-hr access) rtf (71 kb) or pdf (34 kb) and the application must be approved by the Centre Supervisor. After-hours Swipe Card AccessThe Centre's entry and exit doors operate automatically between 8:30am and 5:30 pm. Students must have a current student card to gain access/exit the building outside of this period. The card is swiped through the infra-red high density security bar reader right to left and the user then keys in his/her PIN number followed by # (for ENTER) at the main entrance. The card readers are located at the internal and external sides of the north entrance; students entering and leaving are recorded on a computer at Security and Traffic. Video surveillance also operates. Remember that entry and exit after-hours is only through the automatic door on the ground floor level at the north side of the building. An alarm will sound if the basement level doors are used to exit after hours. We would ask that you use your swipe card responsibly at all times, for your safety and the safety of your fellow students. All users have the right to feel safe and secure in the Centre.
