Student Life Key Control

BuckID supports key and access requests for all facilities and departments within the Office of Student Life. We work with Facilities Operations and Development to implement key requests and maintain a comprehensive keying plan for Student Life facilities. In addition to our electronic door access system, we also utilize electronic key cabinets, offline card readers and a master keying schematic to safely assign and secure keys.
