Keys and Prox Card/Keys

Students are responsible for the safekeeping and security of all university keys (prox keys, room keys) that are issued to them.

• Students are not permitted to give their University keys and prox cards to any individual except for a University representative acting in the scope of their responsibilities. 
• Students may only possess or use University keys or prox cards issued by University staff. Any duplication of University keys or prox cards is prohibited.

Building Access

Students are responsible for ensuring the safety of the community through helping to prevent unauthorized access to residence halls and building facilities.

• Students must not prop open or otherwise obstruct the normal operation of any security doors in the residence hall, including exterior doors and doors on residence hall floors. Students are prohibited from accessing the residence halls during the following times without specific authorization: prior to the official start of the student’s residential contract, after the end of the student’s residential contract, or during break periods (Fall, Winter, and Spring). 

Building Safety

• Tampering with University safety equipment in the residence halls is not permitted. Students who tamper with or otherwise compromise safety equipment may be held financially responsible for its repair or replacement. 
• Students are prohibited from sitting on windowsills, climbing out of windows, or being on exterior window ledges. 
• Students are not permitted to climb on University buildings, ledges, or roofs.
• Any throwing of objects out of any room, public area, or lounge windows of the building is strictly prohibited.
• Students may not remove any window screens, whether in residence hall rooms or a public area. Removal of window screens is a safety violation. A charge will be assessed for replacement, and disciplinary action may be taken.

Hall Security

Security procedures such as desk services, security patrols, evening lock up, and restricted-access plans are regularly reviewed and open to changes and improvements. Students are expected to observe lock-up procedures and cooperate with programs designed to maintain the security of residents. Propping of entrance doors is prohibited. The Colorado State University Police Department (491-6425 or 911) is on duty 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
