Modification to Resident Unlock Policy

During the past academic year, the Day Student Government initiated a conversation with the Department of Public Safety regarding the residential room unlock policy.

The Day Student Government requested that a review of our resident unlock policy be conducted. The scope of the request was related to the charges associated with residential room unlocks and the possibility of offering a fee waiver.

The result of this discussion and policy review has lead to a one-time fee waiver for each residential student. This waiver may be used once per academic year by a residential student.

In order to simplify this process, the first request from a student for a resident unlock will not result in a charge. Each subsequent residential room unlock over the academic year will be charged the standard $20 fee to your student account.
