EdPass Card Services will take your picture (no hats, please) and issue you a card. Your Central Connection card is good for the duration of your employment at the CWU Lynnwood Center.

2. Bring the completed form and your Central Connection Card to the Security Department. Security staff will complete the card encoding process.
