In order to gain access to the recreational areas in the Turner Center a member has two options:

  • The University ID or Turner Center ID will be scanned at the Control Desk. If valid, the turnstile will unlock allowing access. Not only will the turnstile unlock, but a picture of the individual will appear on the monitor at the Control Desk.
  • If desired, members can have their hand scanned at the ID Center. Upon arrival at the Admissions Desk the hand can be scanned. If valid, the turnstile will unlock allowing access. Not only will the turn stile unlock, but a picture of the individual will appear on a monitor at the Control Desk. This will assist in verifying the ID is being used by the appropriate user.  It should be noted that the unit used to scan the hand is not always operational – we advise bringing your each time you come to the Turner Center.

PLEASE NOTE:   If an individual attempts to use an ID other than his/her own, the ID will be confiscated and sent to the Dean of Students Office. (University of Mississippi Policy Code DSA.200.001)
