## Building Access Policy

With respect to the welfare of students and the protection of college facilities and property, the following Building Access Policy has been established by the administration of BYU-Idaho, with the concurrence of the Academic Council:

1. A late pass issued by Public Safety is required for students to remain in any campus building after regular hours. (11:30 p.m.)
2. Authorization for a late pass is made by the appropriate faculty member with confirmation by the division chair.
3. A late pass entitles a student to remain in a building after regular hours, provided the student is in the building at the time it is secured. Neither Public Safety nor Custodial personnel will respond to requests to open a building that has already been secured. The opening of a building at late or unusual hours must be arranged through the faculty member who authorized the late pass.
4. A late pass is valid only for the individual identified thereon, for the specific buildings(s) and room(s) indicated, and for the period of time indicated on the pass.
5. Students who do not need access to specific equipment or materials, but desire an area for general study shall be granted access to the building designated for general study and shall not have random access to other campus buildings.
6. A late pass is issued for legitimate academic purposes only. Any unauthorized activities will result in the revocation of the pass.
7. Any alteration or fraudulent use of a late pass will result in disciplinary action.
8. Students remaining in buildings after regular hours must have a late pass in their possession and must display the pass along with picture identification upon the request of any college faculty member, staff employee, administrator, or security officer.
9. Students remaining in buildings shall not unlock or prop open exterior doors once they have been locked by security personnel.
10. Late pass policy entitles a student to remain in a building no later than 1:00 a.m. and to enter a building no earlier than 5:00 a.m. It is the student's responsibility to vacate a building by the indicated time.
11. Faculty members may only approve access to buildings and rooms over which they exercise appropriate control or to the designated general study facility.
12. Persons found in a campus building after regular hours without proper authorization or who violate the conditions of these access regulations shall be subject to institutional discipline and/or criminal prosecution for unlawful entry or trespassing.

Lost Key Fees  - Access Control|BYU-Idaho

# Lost Key Fees

All lost or stolen keys and I-cards must be reported to the Access Control Office as soon as possible.

## Lost or Stolen Keys and I-Cards

To replace a lost or stolen key, individuals must contact the Access Control Office to request a replacement key. Replacement keys will be issued based on need and approval.

## Lost Key Replacement Fees

Replacement fees will be assessed at the following rates:

| Access Type | Replacement Fee |
| --- | --- |
| Grand Master Key | $500 |

The BYU-Idaho Accessibility Services Office provides support and services to qualifying students to ensure equal access and to foster a spirit of integration and inclusion. Providing accommodations to students with documented educational challenges can have a great impact on their experience as it relates to learning, meeting graduation requirements, and preparing for employment.

As students with disabilities experience equal access to all that BYU-Idaho has to offer, their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ will increase, and they will be better prepared to contribute to the academic, cultural, spiritual, and social environment of BYU-Idaho.

# Accessible Digital Content and Courses

Accessibility guidelines for faculty and support staff when building Canvas courses for students with disabilities.

You may be creating and sharing various types of digital content with your students, colleagues, and the public. Whether it is a syllabus, a lecture slide, a video, a textbook, a Canvas page, or a website, you want to make sure that your content is accessible to everyone.

Here are a few quick steps you can take to maximize the accessibility of your content or course:

- Use built-in accessibility checkers to review for accessibility issues or errors.
- Ensure all text is text, not an image of text. Instead of using a scanned PDF or adding a screenshot to a page, retype the text or see if the library has a text-based version of the reading.
- Use built-in formatting tools for tables, lists, columns. Use paragraph or layout options to add extra spacing or custom formatting.
- Use built-in heading features to add headings rather than changing font, size, and features. Headings should be used to provide structure and organization to content, not for style.
- Use descriptive text for all links--indicate the purpose or destination of the link rather than using a generic phrase. As a best practice, reserve underlined text for hyperlinks only.
- Characteristics like color, shape, size, sound, and location should never be used on their own to convey information or prompt interaction. Pair these with labels, names, or other text-based information.
- Ensure all videos linked to or embedded in content have accurate captions. If you are unsure, review the Quality Caption Components for guidance. As a best practice, store videos in Kaltura so they are ready to have captions edited if needed.
- Add alt text to every image. Alt text should describe the informational value of the image. What does the image add?

If you have any questions or need help creating accessible content, please reach out to The Accessibility Services Office. You can also schedule training (individual or group) for assistance.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Accommodations | Accessibility Services

# Deaf and Hard of Hearing Accommodations

Accommodations available for deaf and hard of hearing students.

Students who are deaf or hearing impaired may need sign language interpreters, captioning and transcription services. We recommend those needing these services contact our office at least 1 month in advance in order for us to coordinate these types of services. Failure to do so could result in you not having those services available in time for the first day of class.

For special events and performances on campus American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be available upon request. Requests for ASL interpreters must be made at least two weeks (14 days) in advance.

To submit a request for an ASL interpreter you will need to email Heidi Smith at smithhe@byui.edu, please provide the event, date, time and location, along with the number of people in your group.

If you have further questions about ASL interpreters for BYU Idaho events you can call (208) 496-9219.

BYU Idaho is exempt from Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is not required to provide ASL interpreters to non-students at events on campus. While we are not legally mandated to provide interpreting services for events on our campus, we recognize the importance of accessibility and inclusivity within our community. We will do our best to accommodate this request as a gesture of goodwill.

- BYU Idaho cannot guarantee ASL interpretation for every performance or event
- ASL interpretation is subject to interpreter availability and seat availability
- Seat preferences may not be available as we may have assigned accessibility seating for the event
- Requesting in advance helps to increase the likelihood of finding an interpreter for your preferred performance date

### Supporting Students Together

At the BYU-Idaho Accessibility Services Office, we coordinate with the university to create accessible educational environments for students with disabilities. You, as faculty and staff, play an essential role in this work. We are committed to partnering with you in both promoting inclusive course design and implementing effective accommodations.

### Providing Accommodations

Reasonable accommodations are determined during an individual, interactive process between the student and an Accessibility Services administrator. In providing accommodations, the university is not required to lower or substantially modify essential requirements for a course or program of study.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions regarding approved accommodations for a student in your course.
