                                                                        Noon to 6:00 pm (Saturday) 

                                                                        Noon to Midnight (Sunday) 

For Special Events: Authorized employees may submit a maintenance request when events require doors to be unlocked in the evening, weekend or outside of fob[1]accessible buildings.

Lost Fobs: Students and employees needing a fob may request one from the Physical Plant Office using the online Maintenance Request Form while being logged in to confirm one's identity and authorization to request access. 

Students and Employees who lose a fob will be charged $10.00 for a replacement. Broken fobs may be returned and replaced by the Physical Plant Office without charge. 

Sharing or Allowing Others to use your Fob Access: Allowing anyone else to access campus property using a key or fob assigned to a student or employee may be grounds for disciplinary action and termination of access.
