If you get locked out of your room, you can contact your Resident Assistant or the Residence Director on duty to gain access to your room Losing your room key is a serious concern. You are jeopardizing the safety of your roommate, your belongings, and other building residents. We encourage all students to exercise ultimate caution with keys.

There will be a charge for the keys, as we will need to re-core your door for security reasons.
