Such costs will vary, depending on the extent of the University facilities affected by the loss. This could range from resecuring one door to resecuring an entire campus. Unit heads may authorize additional keys for personnel who have documented needs for extra keys. Key Recipients Employees who have accepted the responsibility for University keys are authorized to use the keys only to gain access to their work stations during normal working hours, for overtime work, or as approved by the unit head. Using the key to gain entrance to other University offices or facilities is strictly prohibited.
Employees are responsible for reporting lost keys immediately to the proper authorities.
Keys are to be returned to the unit head or to Key Control whenever they are no longer needed. All University property except office equipment will be secured by locks and provision will be made for combination to the University Master Key Lock System. Sanctions may include a fine, suspension, or termination of employment depending upon the extent of the liability accruing to the University from the misuse of keys. Return Once the need for a key is determined, the authorizing unit will complete the key request form as indicated. Two account numbers are needed when the paying account is short term, such as a grant account.
