Key Policy

All keys must have a key requisition form filled out and signed by the head of their department.  Each person receiving a key must sign the addendum before pick up of any key(s).  No key will be handed out without signatures stating that they understand the key policy.  Unauthorized duplication is prohibited.  No exceptions will be made.

All keys are Columbia College Chicago property.  All keys must be returned to the department heads upon termination of College duties.  In the event that the key holder fails to return any of the keys upon termination of College duties, the department agrees that a fee of $25 per each replacement key or lock will be charged against their budget.

Key Pad:
Key pad installation requests must be e-mailed to Sarah McGing at smcging@colum.edu.  Key pads will be reviewed and/or approved on a case by case basis by both Security and Facilities departments.  Key pads will only be installed if it meets College criteria.  Upon approval, a standard and customary fee will be billed to your department.  One code change is allowed per year.  A charge of $50 will be billed to your department for each additional code change.  We recommend you limit the number of personnel with key codes to prevent needing a code change.
