Supply Chain issues and Hardware Delays
19 Jan 2024. Supply chain issues continue to affect our inventory of Card Access equipment used at Carleton. In some instances, this has resulted in extensive delays in the fulfillment of orders. CBORD has not provided a timeline on when the issue will be fully resolved, but do not expect a return to normal this fiscal year.
Current and New Card Access Projects
All current and new project installations are on hold with limited exceptions.
If you have a current project in the queue there a few options
- Cancel your eShop request and the project and resubmit when we reopen;
- Cancel your eShop request but keep your project open and in the queue, we will reach out when hardware starts shipping;
- Leave the eShop request active and we will contact you when hardware starts shipping.
Please reply to CSS.Technical.Services@cunet.carleton.ca with your preference for your project.
We do have a very limited supply of some equipment that can be used for prioritized installations/emergency replacements.
If you have a new project that has already been discussed with Campus Safety Services due to an emerging or current security/safety risk, a project can be commenced with a referral.

We will update this page and notify all in-queue clients once we can commence routine card access installations.
