NU Idea by Cristina Krastle Valderas - Bar Code ID system at AGSB

Hi Sir,

NU Idea

AGSB ID system

Identification card or most commonly know as ID, is being used to contain the personal information of a person and importantly, part of security precaution of a building, establishment, school and offices.

                In Ateneo Graduate School of Business (AGSB), students are required to wear their ID at all times when inside the school premises. Security guards are inspecting each student if they are wearing an ID upon entering the school. As long as they see that you have an ID around your neck or clipped in your chest, you can get inside the building without any problem. But if we observed, they are not really checking if what you are wearing is an AGSB ID. They will not also know if you are enrolled or not for that trimester or school year. So there is no proper identification on the person entering the school premises. On this case, there is a possibility that an intruder can get inside the school.

                As part of prevention and security, AGSB can use the entrance facility we are using inside the library. To enter the building, the student or faculty will need to tap his/her ID on the device. With the help of the barcode, it will identify the person. After validating, that is the only time it will slide open. For the alumni, they can apply for an ID which will have the barcode for them to enter the premises. But for visitors or student not enrolled for the school year or trimester, they have to present a valid identification at the security, who will give them access/entry.

Thank you.3
