- TigerCard validation is complete when the light turns green.
How Often Do I Need to Hit a Hot Spot?
The first validation occurs during Move-in. You will need to validate your TigerCard three additional times during the academic year after each of the following break periods.
- After Fall Recess
- Beginning of Spring Term
- After Spring Recess
The validation period typically lasts 7 days. You must hit the Hot Spot by noon on the last day of the validation periods.
Why Do I Need to Hit the Hot Spot?
Hitting the Hot Spot, or validating process, is part of routine maintenance of the keyless lock system. Validating your card relays diagnostic information about your lock, such as battery health, in an effort to manage potential lock malfunctions before they happen.
