What measures are taken to ensure the security of the residence halls?
The residence halls are locked at all times. Access is granted by swiping a valid UCard (UMass ID) through a card reader at the front door. Only those approved to enter will be granted access. Additionally, ALL exterior doors of the residence halls are connected to a remote alarm system that is monitored 24 hours a day. Staff members are dispatched to investigate and resolve any doors that are propped or left open too long.
