Accessing Space for Student Organizations
As a Carnegie Mellon student organization, you have the ability to obtain a mailbox and access to buildings to conduct your organization's business. Follow SLICE's guidelines for requesting access to an office, closet, cabinet or cage space, as well as tips for your CMU ID activation or SLICE Access card.
Designate a Space Access Administrator
As part of the Student Organization Space Allocation Process, you must first designate a Space Access Administrator. Organizations with space in the University Center, East Campus Garage, Stever House, the Frame Gallery, and/or the Margaret Morrison storefronts, must designate one Space Access Administrator within their organization to facilitate and to manage member access to their assigned spaces and to liaison with the SLICE Office regarding any issues or needs. Please make sure that this individual is listed as the admin in your organization's TartanConnect roster.
Types of Access Requests
Individual Member Access
Bulk Members Access
Non-CMU Member Access
CMU ID & SLICE Card Access
Once a Space Access Request Form has been submitted, a SLICE staff member will update the requested access to the individual's CMU ID or SLICE Access Card within 24 business hours.
Note: You may need to get your CMU ID encoded (activate the chip) if you have not lived in Housing within the last two years. Stop by the SLICE First Floor Office or you can go to Housing.
Members can tap their CMU ID or SLICE Access Card on the lock. First-time access or change-in access will require the lock to "wake" up to download the new information. This process can take 30-40 seconds (sometimes less). Please tap the card again to gain entry. Some locks will need a pin to enter. The pin is a 4 digit code (the birthday of the individual: MM/DD).

University Center Allocations Board (UCAB)
Next Allocation Process: 2024
Space allocations are facilitated every two years. The 2022 - 2024 space allocation process was completed in Spring 2022. The next time Student Government recognized organizations can apply for space in the UC Offices, UC Cabinets, or the East Campus Garage Basement will be during the Spring 2024 semester.
Accessing Mailboxes
Mail delivered to student organizations will be deposited in their mailboxes located next to the Information Desk. Individual student mailboxes are located on the lower level across from the Career and Professional Development Center. To request a student organization mailbox, visit the SLICE office front desk.
If your organization has received a package, there will be a receipt in your organization's mailbox. Turn in this receipt to the Information Desk to claim your package.
