Policy Statement

This list also detail any conditions for such access, examples might include:

  • Is the ITS individual allowed to access the residential halls by themselves or is a second person from ITS required to accompany them?
  • At what days and times is the ITS individual allowed to access the halls?
  • Is reporting of when halls are accessed required?
  • Is the ITS individual allowed to have card and/or code access to the halls?

Scope

This policy applies to all ITS staff (including student worker IT staff while acting in this role) and covers all access to °Ä²Ê¿ª½± residence halls.
