Lockouts & Access Cards
Access cards are to be used only by University Housing residents. Access cards open all entrance and exit gates for the building to which the resident is assigned. Residents are issued a key that will open the apartment and bedroom doors. In the event of a misplaced or lost key, students should go to the Community Desk to check out a spare key. Residents who cannot access entry points due to defective cards should call the Community Desk or the police sub-station from an outside phone to report the problem immediately. Residents are expected to carry their access cards with them at all times.
Spare Keys
A resident must present a photo ID to check out a spare key. Spare keys are only issued to the resident of that specific room. No resident will be granted access to another resident's room for any reason.
The spare key should be returned to the Community Desk by 9:30 a.m. the next day. If it is not returned by this point, it will be considered lost, and the student will be charged $75. A resident may check out a spare key three times a semester at no cost. After that, all spare key checkouts will carry a $50 service charge.
Lost Access Cards
Residents should report misplaced or lost access cards immediately to the Community Desk so they can be deactivated and replaced.
Judicial action may be taken against a resident who fails to report a lost card that is then used to illegally enter a building or a residence hall. Access cards are not to be given to any person other than the resident to whom they are issued. A replacement card costs $35.
Parking
Parking decks are secured and monitored by police 24/7. Residents are given access cards to gain entry into assigned decks. Illegally or improperly parked vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense. Contact University Housing by email or through the Community Desk for information regarding towed vehicles. Georgia State assumes no responsibility for vehicles or protection of any vehicle or its contents at any time.
