Access
to Campus Buildings
Most campus buildings
and facilities are accessible to the campus community,
guests and visitors during normal business hours, Monday
through
Friday.
Exterior doors to all student residence
halls are controlled 24 hours a day and are accessible to resident
students via the Persona access control system. This
enables entry control by validation or denial of the
cardholder. Guests and visitors may gain admittance
by calling a student living in the residence
hall and being escorted by that individual.

Key Tag Registration Program
Lost keys present a security risk
as well as a considerable expense in re-keying buildings. Students
may visit Public Safety’s Community Policing Desk in the
Memorial Union to complete a registration card and receive a registration
key tag with a unique serial number.
Individuals who find
keys with a serial tag are directed to contact
Public Safety. The department then matches the serial
number with the registered owner’s name, enabling
the keys to be returned to the owner without disclosing
the student’s location or identity.

ID Requirement for Vendors
Property Management requires all University employees, contractors and vendors
to wear and display University identification when in residence halls. Residents
should not provide building access to individuals claiming to be employees,
contractors or vendors, but call Property Management, 581-4444 or Public
Safety, 581-4040.

Electronic Alarm Systems
Exterior access doors for all residence halls are monitored
by computer at Public
Safety. Sensors attached to exterior doors are
capable of signaling an alarm to police if doors are propped open. The police
will respond and correct the situation.
A sophisticated computer-based
electronic monitoring system, located at the Department of
Public Safety building, also monitors a comprehensive network
of panic, environmental,
intrusion, robbery and fire alarms. See Police
Call Boxes.

Keep Your Keys and MaineCard Safe
An easy, safe and inexpensive way to keep track of keys and your MaineCard ID is to use a lanyard.
Lanyards come in a variety of colors and styles and can be worn around the neck (as shown in the photo above), snapped on a belt loop or clipped inside a backpack. Many styles of lanyards include protective plastic sleeves to hold your MaineCard ID so the magnetic strip is protected and your card is always close at hand for meals, laundry, the library and when entering your residence hall!
