Card Access & Door Alarms

• All residence halls are equipped with electronic card access devices, which will permit access only to residents and University personnel with valid identification cards. Lost cards can be replaced at the University I.D. office in Gordinier for a fee. When the I.D. office is closed, temporary access cards can be issued at the hall offices. When the I.D. and hall offices are not open, students who have lost or misplaced their I.D. are expected to contact their roommates or hall mates by phone to gain access to their hall.
• The halls are also equipped with peripheral door alarms, which will sound after a few seconds if the door is not properly closed. Students are expected to ensure that peripheral doors are closed properly as they exit, not to prop doors open, and not to allow non-residents who are not their guests, to enter the buildings.
• A resident host must escort visitors, guests and other non-residents while in the residence hall. Residents who give entry to unescorted non-residents are in violation of the escort policy and subject to disciplinary action.
