Access Management and Physical Security

Mission: To provide a safe and secure College of Engineering community consistent with the University’s mission, culture, and resources in order to maintain a welcoming environment that is conducive to higher learning and research.

The University access policy (AD 68) establishes the role of Access Coordinator and access procedures (SY2001) by which access to College facilities is managed. Access procedures (SY2001) outlines the responsibilities of the access coordinator and requires a Facility Access Authorization Request Form (FAAR form) for all keys.

The Master Access Coordinator for the College is responsible for implementing the University Access Policy (AD68) and authorizing an access coordinator for each College work unit.

The Department Access Coordinator is responsible for assigning keys or access credential device (ACD) to enable the key or ID holder to gain access to a building, room, or College work area. Maintains systematic and effective control of all keys, access devices and/or clearances for the rooms and/or buildings under the control and jurisdiction of the department. Each department has multiple access coordinators.
