Who can enter my building, & who can be issued keys?
Building entry is limited to valid Penncard holders (students, faculty, and staff,) and their visitors. Visitors must be signed in by a valid Penncard holder. Delivery persons must go through the building Information Center or call the resident. Contractors without Penn IDs must wear Contractor Badges obtained from Facilities Services. Spectaguards must carry a Spectaguard ID. Emergency personnel are allowed immediate access. Moreover, even with Penncards, non-residents cannot gain access to a residence hall between the hours of 1am – 7am Monday – Friday and between 2am – 7am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, unless signed in by a resident. Keys: A resident can be issued a temporary key to his or her own room. No friend or relative can be issued your key, unless granted special permission. Staff members from Housing & Conference Services, CHAS, Facilities, and Emergency Personnel may sign out keys as needed.
