In the event that access to an otherwise secured area is required, the following procedures should be followed:

General Classrooms
Building custodians are responsible for unlocking general classrooms.

High Security Classrooms
Access to high security classrooms is managed by card or coded access. Only those authorized by the person who controls the classroom may be allowed admittance. It is strongly recommended that access authorization be obtained well in advance of the scheduled use of the area.

• NOTE: Campus Safety will not allow persons not previously authorized into a high security classroom without the permission of the person in charge of the classroom/facility.

Offices
Individuals locked out of their own offices should contact the Building Coordinator during normal business hours for assistance, and Campus Safety at other times.

• NOTE: Building Coordinators and Campus Safety will only unlock offices for individuals assigned to that office. Requests by individuals for access into an office not their own will not be honored without the approval of the person who occupies that office. Exceptions may be made based on extenuating circumstances, at the discretion of Campus Safety, and upon proper identification of the party requesting access and documentation as to the reason why access is needed.

Residential Facilities
Most residential facilities are controlled by card access. Access to student living quarters is restricted. However, access into a student’s room may be needed for maintenance and/or other extenuating circumstances in accordance with the student housing contract and room entry policies.

Other Areas
In general, access into locked areas on campus must be authorized by the person in control of the area in question.
