The physical plant, Department of Public Safety (DPS)and
ICT continue to upgrade security measures on campus
As of Feb. 13, the physical plant has re-keyed 28 buildings.
The remaining buildings — Central
Stores, the Sculpture Studio, King Hall, the Rec/IM, the
Lake House and the Terrestrial and Aquatics building — will
be re-keyed to a single access point this week.
When a building is closed, faculty and staff can use their
current key to access a single exterior door — after hours
and on weekends — until the card access system is activated.
Once the card access system is operational, authorized
faculty and staff MUST use their Eagle Card faculty/staff
ID to access a building after hours and on weekends.

ACCESS GRANTED: This mock
demonstration
outside Boone Hall will
soon become a familiar
process on
campus, for those needing access to
buildings after hours. Faculty and
staff are
encouraged to get their Eagle
Cards, which will
be used to grant
access to campus facilities.
|
Campus keys will not work on outside building doors once
the access program is in place.
New ID cards are available at the Eagle Card office in
21 McKenny Union. The card features your new ID number
and a picture of the sculpture in front of Mark Jefferson.
If you have not visited the Eagle Card office since August
2005 to have a new picture taken, please visit the Eagle
Card office soon. Bring a driver's license or photo ID
with you in order to verify your identity.
In order for a Distance Learner student to receive an
Eagle OneCard, they should call the Eagle Card office and
identify that they are a Distance Learner. The Eagle Card
staff will verify registration and the student's address,
and order an ID card for the student. The Distance Learner
will receive his or her Eagle OneCard in the mail, with
a photo of the world on it, in place of the student's picture.
The student needs to go to www.EMUEagleOne.com site and
activate the ID card in order to obtain access to any of
the student privileges and to identify how they wish to
receive any financial refunds from the University.
The Eagle Card office is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-5
p.m.; and Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. For questions, call 487-3176.
Students can use their Eagle One ID card (with the master
card logo) for access to a building, if their faculty or
department sponsor and the building administrator have
authorized it.
Building administrators will notify department heads and
deans by e-mail when their card access program is activated.
Deans and department heads will then notify faculty and
staff. The building administrator is responsible for programming
authorized ID cards for after hour's access.
If you don't know your building administrator, please
contact DPS at 487-1222.
If your ID is lost or stolen, call DPS and your department
head immediately, so the card can be deactivated from the
system. You'll need to obtain a new ID from the Eagle Card
office and have your building administrator reactivate
your access.
When the program is activated, faculty, staff and administrators
should return building keys to public safety for recycling.
You can return them through campus mail or drop them off
at DPS, located at Oakwood and Structure Drive. If your
key currently opens both the outside door and an internal
building door, keep your key because the access program
won't affect internal doors.
Emergency assistance stations
Progress continues on the closed-circuit TV systems and
the emergency assistance stations in Mark Jefferson and
Strong Hall. Work should be completed by March 1.
Advisory committees
The Technical and Security Advisory Committees continue
to meet to oversee implementation of the card access program,
the closed-circuit TV and the emergency assistance stations.
The Security Advisory Committee's next meeting is Feb.
17. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to
bring any questions or concerns to their representative.

Keeping you and EMU safe

Be alert to your surroundings, especially when it's dark.
It's hard to pay attention to your surroundings while talking
on your cell phone or while wearing headphones.
