The following policies are for compliance with the College and University Security Information Act, in dealing with Resident Hall issues:

• Policy regarding access to institutional facilities and programs by students, employees quests and other individuals:

Each member of the Resident Life Staff is issued keys that give him/her access to all students' rooms within his/her building. These keys are only to be used to enter the student's room if there is an emergency or if the student is locked out of his/her own room. You are not to key into a room without first knocking. You should always try first to get the resident to open the door at his/her own will. The best way to do this is to knock, call out the resident's name, and announce who you are. You may even want to state why you are there. If it is not an extreme emergency, another option before keying-in is to return to your room and call that resident's room. They may be more willing to talk to you over the phone and then from there you could get them to open the door.
In the event of a fire, tornado, or earthquake you must knock on people’s doors, call out the resident’s name, and if they are still not leaving the building then you need to unlock their door to get them out. A general rule to keep in mind in regards to when to key in is if the student is in danger of harming her/himself or if the student is placing the safety of another student in jeopardy, then you need to key in.
So now that we established when you can key-in, let's make sure we are clear about the times that you cannot key-in. You should not key-in just because you believe that a resident is in violation of a college policy. For example, you cannot key into a student's room just because you think the student is harboring a can of beer in the refrigerator. You should not key-in because there is a party on a Saturday night and you want them to quiet down. These are the times when you should knock, announce yourself, and wait for them to open the door.
Master keys are NOT to be used to open rooms for personal use. Sub-master keys should NEVER be available for general student use. Allowing a resident to use any of these keys may result in immediate termination from the RA position.
Lost keys should be reported to the Residence Director immediately. RAs will be financially liable for the cost to re-key locks as a result of lost keys, and may also be terminated from their positions.
RAs may NEVER give someone access to a room other than their own, except in the case of a life-threatening emergency. Failure to abide by this policy may result in immediate termination from the RA position.
