Hall Security

For the safety of residents, each residence hall is equipped with an electronic card access system that limits access to only those residents of the hall. Restrooms on all female floors also have ID card readers that allow entry only to residents of the floor. Guests must be hosted by a resident of the hall and accompanied at all times by that resident. After midnight, guests must register at the community check station and have a photo ID.
