To get a key, fill out a key request form (available from the Security Office, Jefferson Hall 201), have an authorized person sign it, and submit it to the Security Office for processing. Roughly a week after the request is received, you will receive a card through interoffice mail. There is a fee to replace lost keys.
To request a lock change, describe exactly what you want done (e.g., rekey to high security, change lock function to push-button, etc.) on department letterhead, have an authorized person sign the request, and forward it to the Security Office in Jefferson 201 for processing. If requesting a key change, be sure to include the names of people who should receive the new keys; otherwise, no one will be able to get in! Include a phone number in case there are any questions.
