Policy

Authorization

The purpose of this policy is to limit access to University properties to authorized personnel, to maintain a current inventory of keys issued to authorized personnel and to ensure that keys are recovered from those who are no longer authorized to have them. The dean, chair, or department head will determine the need for access for each person within his or her department. Keys must be issued, used, and returned in accordance with ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s Access Control Policy. Detailed information regarding this policy is available from the Department of Physical Facilities. Undergraduates are allowed the use of a key (to a laboratory, for example), only with faculty permission.
