5.14.2 Key Control Policy
The following regulations in regard to keys shall be in effect:
- Full- and part-time University employees may be issued necessary keys by completing the Key Request form found on the 色虎视频 Web site and obtaining the required signatures.
- Upon receipt and review of a completed Key Request form, the order will be filled and the authorizing unit notified that the employee may pick up the key from the access control specialist at the Physical Plant. Appropriate identification (L.U. ID or driver’s license) of the individual named on the Key Request form will be required to receive the key. Keys not picked up within 90 days will be returned to inventory and a new Key Request form must be submitted.
- A key audit will be performed each time a new key is issued.
- No University key may be duplicated.
- When an employee transfers from one department to another, he/she must return to the access control specialist all keys relative to the department he/she is leaving. If there is a valid need for the employee to retain such keys, the area supervisor will provide a written justification.
- The employee who is issued a key is responsible for that key and will be charged for any lost or misplaced keys.
- Prior to termination, employees must remit all University keys to the access control specialist. The specialist must sign a departure document attesting to receipt of all keys.
- With the approval of the area supervisor, select students may be issued keys. (E.g., in Cooperative Research, students are assigned to animal care on an ongoing basis including night and weekend hours and must have access to facilities.)
