You will receive a room key and a building access card when you check into a residence hall. To protect personal belongings and prevent damage to the building, always keep your room locked. If you ask for a replacement key, fail to return a spare key within 48 hours, or fail to turn in a key when vacating your residence hall space, the University will automatically change your key core to protect all present and future residents. In that event, you will be billed to cover the cost of changing the lock.
Charges vary according to the number of key cores that have to be changed.
If you lose a Key Card, contact a Residence Life staff member for a temporary replacement card. You can keep a replacement card for up to 48 hours. Duplication Duplication of any University key, including your room keys, is prohibited. If you live in a residence hall, return your room keys and Key Cards in person to the Hall Director at the end of the fall semester. After Winter Session, your keys and Key Cards will be returned before the spring semester.
