Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio has a new access control system in place that will use student ID cards with proximity card technology. The card-based system will help control access to campus buildings, including student dormitories after hours. To gain access to their dorms, students must waive their ID cards in front of special proximity card readers located outside entrances. The reader must recognize the student's ID number, which is stored on the card, before allowing entry.

While dormitories will be open during the day, the proximity cards will be required for entry late at night. Aside from increasing the level of security around campus, the proximity card system may also be used to measure student activity in dining halls. The college will be able to collect information from the cards when students enter or leave dining facilities, and then use that information to offer better cafeteria service.
