How Do I Obtain an Access Control Card for a University Controlled System
1. Your eligibility for access to electronically controlled areas will be determined by your department.
2. Initiate your request with the department head.
3. The department head will complete a University Police Department Access Control Card Request Form.
4. Submit the completed form by either mailing the request to the Access & Alarm Coordinator at the University Police Department or faxing the request to ext. 4909. Please try to plan and allow five workdays for your request to be processed. The Access & Alarm Coordinator will make every effort to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

May I Duplicate or Share My Access Control Card
No, you may not. Sharing or duplicating access cards compromises the security of the system and undermines the auditing function of the system.
Any person who knowingly makes, duplicates, possesses, or uses access control cards (keys) to university premises, without authorization, is punishable under the law per section 469 of the California Penal code, which states:
“Any person who knowingly makes, duplicates, causes to be duplicated, or uses or attempts to make, duplicate, causes to be duplicated, used, or has in their possession any key to a building or other area owned, operated, or controlled by the State of California or any state agency… without authorization from the person in charge of such building or area or their designated representative, and with knowledge of the lack such authorization is guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Anyone violating these guidelines is also subject to administrative disciplinary actions from the university.
