DTC Faculty FAQS
How do I send a message to the faculty listserv? How do I subscribe or unsubscribe?
Where do I park?
Faculty parking stickers are available from University Police. There are parking lots near the Ford Center and Tech building, but they tend to fill up quickly.
How do I get access to the building and classrooms? What if I have a problem with my access?
Most spaces in the Ford building are accessible during regular business hours. If you teach a class in a Segal classroom (Ford G.201, 205, and 211) after 5 p.m., you will need a programmable Wildcard to enter.
To request access to specific rooms within Ford, complete this form.
If you have a problem with your wildcard access, email fordaccess@northwestern.edu.
