Access to Campus Facilities (Policy SW-28)

Students, faculty, and employees of Clarkson College have access to most facilities on campus. However, certain classrooms and departments are open only to those requiring access. Clarkson College allows after-hour access to campus facilities for individuals assigned a key card. Clarkson College has a Residence Hall with access only for residential students and assigned personnel.

Procedure:

Assigning of Key Cards:

  • Key Cards are assigned to faculty and staff by UNMC Card Access Services.
  • Key Cards are assigned to students by the Facilities Department.
  • All key cards are activated by the Facilities Department.

Card Key Access:

The Main Building, Student Center, and Clarkson College Commons and Education Center are secured at all times with access to students, staff, and faculty with key card access.

  • The Residence Hall is secured at all times and only accessible by residential students and assigned personnel.  
  • Specific floors, departments, and classrooms have card key access. Each access point may have individual hours, varying at different times of the year. In these cases, the areas will be secured according to schedules developed by the department responsible for that area.

Key Access:

  • Employees are assigned keys for their specific office, department, and classroom as needed.
  • Residential students are assigned keys to their suite and bedroom.

Security Considerations Used in the Maintenance of the Campus:

  • All key cards and keys are inventoried annually.
  • The key card system is monitored during business hours to ensure safety.
  • A safety and security walkthrough is conducted twice a year by students and staff to access any areas of concern. Any problem areas are assessed and responded to promptly.
