Residents in Perpetual, Bethany and Immaculata Hall and may be issued a metal room key (and building key, when applicable). The resident is responsible for returning the key(s) upon check-out.
Residents in Loughran Hall, Madonna Hall, Regina Hall, and the Woodland Residences utilize their student ID cards and a personalized pin number to gain entry into their buildings and rooms.
Responsibility
Both metal keys and student ID cards which are encoded for building and/or room access are considered to be keys. Keys may not be duplicated or be given to any other person than the resident of the room.
Lost Keys
Once a key is believed to be missing, it must be reported immediately. During normal business hours, M-F, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., key changes can be reported to Housing and Residence Life at 570-348-6236. Outside of these hours, key changes can be reported to Campus Safety at 570-348-6242. Once the key and core changes begin, the appropriate fees will be applied and cannot be rescinded. Room keys will be billed a minimum of $50. In the event of a lost building key, the student will be billed a minimum of $50 per core plus $5 per key. Please note: some buildings have more than one access point that would need new cores.
Lockouts
A resident who locks him/herself out of the bathroom needs to contact Campus Safety at (570) 348-6242, to be let back in their rooms. Please note, Campus Safety Officers must respond to a number of campus issues. Therefore, the immediacy of their response time cannot be guaranteed.
