Troubleshoot Access Issues

All students, employees and affiliates will automatically gain access to certain buildings during the building's specific open hours as disclosed by the department/Building Security Coordinator. If you find that you need specific access to a secured building or need access to an open building for a broader timeframe, contact the BSC. BSC contact information is listed on the Facilities webpage.

Many issues with gaining access can be resolved by ensuring that you have properly added the TigerOne Mobile ID to your device and that you are presenting the device or card correctly to the reader. If you find that you are not getting access to a building or space during a time when you are expecting access, please follow the troubleshooting steps below. 

 

Presentation Methods

presentation of iPhone to access reader

iPhone

Tap the phone's top to the reader. The top of the iPhone is where the NFC antennae is located. You do not need to wake up the phone as long as express mode is activated. Some phone cases can block the use of NFC. If your Mobile ID is not reacting, try removing the case to ensure this is not the cause of the issue.
presentation of Apple Watch to access reader

Apple Watch

Tap the face of the watch to the reader. You do not need to wake up the watch as long as express mode is activated.
presentation of Android to access reader

Android

Ensure your device is awake and the screen is lit up. Android devices can vary in the placement of the NFC antennae. Ensure NFC is turned on. Tap the top of the phone to the reader. If this does not work, tap the back body of the phone to the reader. If you continue to experience issues, try opening the GET app to reinitialize the credential. 
presentation of a TigerOne card to access reader

Physical Card

Tap the card on the reader. Ensure a wallet or bag does not block the card.

TigerOne Mobile ID for Apple

  1. Ensure you are presenting the ID properly as described in the presentation methods above.
  2. If you present a Mobile ID and the reader does not react, open the Wallet app and ensure you have properly provisioned the Mobile ID. You will not see the TigerOne Mobile ID by double-clicking the side button. If you do not see the ID in the Wallet app, you have not added it to your in-hand device. See how to provision the TigerOne Mobile ID for Apple.

TigerOne Mobile ID for Android

  1. Ensure you are presenting the ID properly as described in the presentation methods above.
  2. If you present a Mobile ID and the reader does not react, open the GET Mobile app.
  3. After logging into GET Mobile, try to present the ID to the reader again.
  4. Ensure you have properly provisioned the Mobile ID. In the GET Mobile app, you should see the status of your ID as “Mobile ID enabled.”
  5. If your ID says, “ID not added to phone” or “Mobile ID installed [not ready],” you have not added it to your in-hand device. See how to provision the TigerOne Mobile ID for Android.

Physical Card

1. Ensure you are presenting the card properly as described in the presentation methods above.

2. Is the reader reacting when you present the card at all? If it is not, the chip in your card could be dead. You can test this by presenting your card to other readers. If no reader reacts to the presence of your card, the chip is most likely dead. You can request a new card by submitting a Broken Card Request. You will be required to hand in the old card or pay $20 for the new card. If the card has suffered abnormal wear and tear (holes, tearing, etc.), a $20 charge will be applied for the new card.

3. Is your card marked as lost? Check on the Credentials Management Page. The reader will react to the card, but access will be denied.

4. Are you using an old card? If you have had multiple TigerOne cards printed, only the most recently printed TigerOne card will be active. Ensure you are not using an old card.
