Notice of Adoption of Policy:

FACILITIES ELECTRONIC ACCESS/KEY CONTROL POLICY

Pursuant to the authority established by Arizona Board of Regents Policy No. 1-201, et seq., and the University of Arizona's policy on University Policy-making, the following action is proposed:

ADOPTION OF FACILITIES ELECTRONIC ACCESS/KEY CONTROL POLICY

SUMMARY: Physical and electronic security is essential in providing secure access and protection to University of Arizona (University) students, personnel, equipment, buildings and resources. Universities are popular targets of theft from both internal and external threats. Access to University buildings is a privilege, not a right, and implies user responsibilities and accountability.

The purpose of this Policy is to regulate access to University property and to ensure that any individual, college, department, operating unit or program, within the scope of this Policy, is aware of their respective responsibilities when assigned CatCards and building keys. This Policy will help provide a safe and secure campus environment through the diligent control of electronic access devices and building keys.

A copy of the new policy is available at the University Policies website.
