The UT Southwestern Physical Plant Key Control Department issues all keys and access cards to all areas of the campus. It is assumed that all personnel understand the responsibility for the institutional key or card that is issued. The key or card will NOT be duplicated by anyone other than the Physical Plant Department. It will NOT be transferred or loaned to any other person. Keys or access cards will be returned to the Physical Plant Department for termination clearance, department change and/or room change.
Many keys or access cards provide access to sensitive areas of the campus. Many of the areas contain valuable personal or state property, delicate and expensive equipment, or invaluable experiments. Therefore, personnel should be wary about loaning someone else the use of their keys or access cards. The loss or loan of keys to someone else who fails to return them can potentially cause a substantial inconvenience or security risk not only to you but, to other employees. And, possibly a substantial cost to your department should the loss of these items require your department's area to be re-keyed! The loss of these items will also cause delays in persons completing terminal clearance should they terminate employment.
Hang onto your keys and cards! Report a lost key or access card to the University Police immediately!
