Key and Card Access

UW Tacoma utilizes an electronic access card-operated security system to control after-hours access to buildings and most computer labs and classrooms. Most individual offices are secured with standard key locks.

Access to Campus

If you need to be in a campus building after regular working hours, notify your supervisor or instructor as well as the Campus Security officer on duty so they can consider your safety during their patrols.

Some campus rooms are protected by intrusion alarms. Campus Safety and Security Department should be called before entering these areas.

Key and Card Access Requests

All key and card access requests are handled through the online web form.

When you make a request please specify which campus buildings, rooms and hours are needed to ensure that electronic key cards and physical keys are issued to authorized faculty and staff.
