RESIDENTIAL LIFE GUIDE
lost or stolen keys

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.

You should expect a new lock on your room door within 2 business days from the time you report your key lost or stolen. Once the report is made, the lock will be changed regardless of whether or not the key is subsequently found.

The new key for your room will be available at your Area or Satellite office. A student will be charged $40 for each lock change and $1 for each required key (one per resident and one lock-out key). There is also a $5 replacement charge for each lost or stolen mailbox key. There is a $5 charge for replacement bedroom keys in the Circle Apartments.

In the event that a lock-out key is required as result of lost or stolen keys, the fee will be folded into the cost of the recore.

 


According to Ithaca College policy, students should carry their Ithaca College ID Card at all times.

If a student is locked out, he or she will be assessed a $10.00 charge in order to receive a lock out key or to be provided access to their room. Students can pay the lock-out fee immediately, or it will be billed to the student's account as a damage bill charge. This fee will be applied each time a lock-out key is requested.

A lock-out key must be returned to the Area or Satellite office within 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in an immediate lock change being ordered at the student's expense.
