At check-in time, you will receive a room (or apartment) key and a mailbox key. It is your responsibility to lock your door and to keep your keys with you at all times in order to help maintain the security of the residence hall system.

As an additional security measure, the entrance doors to all residence halls are locked 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Students propping open, unlocking entrance doors, or by any means allowing non-residents access to a residence hall other than as his or her guest is an act to compromise the effectiveness of the security system. This will result in judicial action.

If your room key is lost or stolen, you must contact your Residence Director or your Area/Satellite office immediately. The Office of Residential Life will immediately notify the appropriate Physical Plant personnel to change the lock.
