UMSI Building Use Guide: Collegian | Leinweber Computer Science and Information Building

The Collegian UMSI office space is accessible from 7 am to 8 pm to UMSI faculty, staff, PhD students, and non-PhD GSI students who are teaching on central campus.

If you have non-PhD, non-UMSI students or other guests meeting you in the Collegian, they will either need to call you, or starting the week of 8/25, there will be a remote card reader that will allow you to let them up the elevator. Make sure your guests are aware of this restriction.
