For Your Safety Report misplaced or stolen cards immediately to your residential community area office during normal business hours, or, after 4:30 p.m. or on the weekend, please go to our web site to
suspend your card. You must be registered with our ON-Line card Office. If you have not registered please do so and suspend your card. Your old card will be deactivated and you will be issued a new card. A fee of $20 is charged for the replacement of an access card.
If your card fails to work, ask for assistance from your residential area office during normal business hours, or, after 4:30 p.m. or on the weekend please go to the control desk for your area and they can contact the RD on call.
Use the phone keypad outside the door to contact the resident you are visiting and ask that person to come down and open the door for you. Your access card will allow you to enter only the residence hall in which you live. No temporary cards are given to guests.
You’re cooperation helps make our campus secure. The Access Card System works only if everyone follows the guidelines that promote security. To make sure everyone in your building and the buildings you visit remains safe and secure, remember:
- Don’t prop open doors to residence halls.
- Don’t lend your access card to someone else or borrow someone else’s card.
- Don’t let someone else into the building just because that person is standing right behind you as you let yourself in — or is standing outside the door as you let yourself out. Also, when entering or exiting the building, don’t allow a person outside to catch the door and hold it open to “let himself/herself in.” The only way to ensure security is to make sure the door closes behind you, so that everyone entering the building has to either use an access card or call a resident to be let inside. Not holding the door open for others may seem rude, but it’s the only way to make sure that everyone who enters the building has a legitimate reason to be inside.
- Don’t expect or ask people entering or leaving the building to hold the door open for you. Use your access card if you live there, or, if you don’t, call a resident to let you in.
- Be alert and aware. Report any strange, suspicious or unusual behavior or events outside your residence to University Police.
- If the security system is not working, report the problem and be patient until it is working again.
- Don’t try to use a card to access any building other than the one for which it was issued. If you keep trying to open another residence-hall door with your own access card, the card will deactivate and no longer work for your own door.
- Report lost cards immediately to either your residential community area office or to University Police.
- Don’t expose your card to extreme heat, open flame or water. Check clothes pockets before laundering to make sure you don’t put it through the wash. Avoid leaving it on a dashboard in the sun.
