Central Connection Card

Everything You Need to Know to Get Your First Central Connection Card

Where:

Central Connection Cards are made in the EdPass Office.

When:

The EdPass office will be notified after your new hire papers have been completed and processed by CWU Human Resources. You then may drop into the EdPass office to obtain your Central Connection Card.

Note: The time it takes to process new hire information can vary, so please check with your supervisor for more information.

What to Bring:

To save time and a trip to campus, you may submit a ticket at itsupport.edmonds.edu with your CWU ID number, and we will check it for you. Bring a valid photo ID with you to the EdPass office. 

What Happens Next:

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.

If you are a CWU Lynnwood Center employee who meets the standard Central Connection Card Access requirements, you can get your card encoded for use as a keycard to access Edmonds College campus premises.

How to Encode your Central Connection Card for Room and Building Access

1. Complete an Edmonds College/CWU Building Access Form. The form must be approved and signed by your Area Administrator (usually your supervisor) and the appropriate Vice President.
2. Bring the completed form and your Central Connection Card to the Security Department. Security staff will complete the card encoding process.
