Using a Metro State ID Card: 

• Individuals can enter the ramp by holding their programmed Metro State ID card to the card reader.

• ID cards may be left inside of a wallet or carrying case-the card reader should still be able to read the card from within a thin holder. (Heavier containers may require removing the card to touch the card reader directly)

• Student ID cards are programmed to access parking 14 days prior to the official start of the semester. They are de-programmed seven days after the official last day of the semester. 

• Employee ID cards need to register and pay for parking in order for their card to be programmed. 

• Employees who have registered and paid for parking may need to Call for Assistance and tell the parking tenant their Tech ID number until their card is programmed.
