During regular operational hours, all exterior access points will be unlocked, as they are currently operating now. Card access will only be required when entering a building outside of regular operational hours. These hours vary from building to building, depending on their normal function of operation, and are generally from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Anyone who needs access to a building, outside of regular operational hours, can do so by completing a key request form.

Additionally with the rollout of this project, all exterior building doors will be rekeyed. Brass keys for building exterior doors will become obsolete when the new card access system goes online. Those who currently have an exterior brass door key for the buildings listed above will need to return their key to Seawolf Services as required by the Key Control Policy. If a key is lost, a lost key form must be completed and a lost key charge of $25 per key will apply.

We appreciate your patience and support as we transition to the new security card access system. It is our sincere effort to provide a safer, more secure environment for our entire campus community.

Thank you.
