To better serve you, please read the following information before submitting a key request.

How to request a key

  1. A Key Request Form should be filled out. The form is an interactive PDF which allows you to complete the required fields online, download and then print the form.

  2. The form must be signed by the Department Head and by the Building Coordinator.

  3. Each request must include a unique identifier known as the "key request number (No.)". The Key Request No. includes the date, building code or name, department room location and sequential numbers if sending more than one request per day. An example key request number: 04-03-23-BH-210-1 is created as follows - date (04-03-23), building code (BH), room location (210), sequential numbers starting with one (1), separating each number with a dash (-).

  5. The Key Requestor will be notified via email when key is ready for pick up. The key will ONLY be available for pick-up for thirty (30) days after the date of the email notification.
