Access Requests
Students who require access to a classroom after regular hours must request after-hours permission from their professor. The professor can activate after-hours permission on Piperline. Under "Employee Services" the professor will find a "Grant After-Hours Permissions" link. Once the professor has completed and submitted the request online, the student will be granted after-hours access. Faculty unable to get in to their building after hours may also call our office for access.
Also, if you lock yourself out of your room or office, simply give us a call or stop by and we can usually let you in (Students: Remember, there is a $25 charge for letting you in to your room if you get locked out!).
