Employee badge

Badges are assigned to academic staff – including doctoral assistants – and administrative staff when they sign their contracts. The badge remains active throughout a person’s time at the University. 

LUGANO CAMPUS

The badge allows employees working on the Lugano Campus to:

• access their working areas (offices, classrooms) and the common areas of the campus 24 / 7;
• use printers, make photocopies and scan documents;
• obtain up-to-date certificates;
• register for sporting activities;
• register for the bike sharing service;
• benefit from promotions intended for employees.

The badge may also be validated to serve as a library card: all you need do is go to the University Library on campus, present your badge and ask for it to be validated for library services. The badge is then valid not only for the USI university libraries but for the entire library service of the Canton of Ticino. It can also be validated for other libraries in the BibliOpass network.

Services/areas for which the badge is valid

When first delivered, the badge is already valid for the employee’s working areas (offices, classrooms) and for the common areas.

Requests may be made to the system administrators for the badge to be validated for other areas ([email protected]). This may require the consent of your superior.
