Securing Campus & Serving the KU Community

We strive to provide a safe and secure learning and working environment through effective access management.


Electronic Access is Replacing Keys

The university’s general intent is to minimize issuance of physical keys, especially masters and sub-masters, and migrate to electronic access.

  • Building keys are not issued for locations equipped with electronic access control.
  • Master and sub-master keys are highly restricted. Keys issued will only provide access to spaces required to fulfill job duties.
  • All key requests are subject to review and approval before fulfillment.
