Keys and Key Requests

Carthage is presently in a transition period between key master systems. All residence halls, the Todd Wehr Center, the Tarble Athletic and Recreational Center, The Physical Education Complex, Hedberg Library, The Fritsch Meditation Chapel, The David Straz Center and the Clausen Center are outfitted with a high security Medeco key core system.

Most of Lentz Hall, Seibert Chapel, the H. F. Johnson Center and Seideman Natatorium are on a Sargent core system.

The Maintenance Department is the source of all keys to campus locks and facilities. They do not issue keys without prior approval of the appropriate campus authorities. No Carthage key may be reproduced by anyone either than the authorized physical plant locksmith.

All student requests for keys are to be directed to the Dean of Students Office. Lost residence hall room keys require a change in the door core for safety of the occupants.

All faculty requests for keys require the Dean of the Colleges review and signature. Please feel free to use the attached form, however, your request should be directed to the Office of the Dean of the College.

All staff key requests require the signature of your department supervisor on the Key Request Form. The signed key request should be forwarded to Business Office.

Keys are issued to a specific individual and remain the property of Carthage. All keys must be returned at the end of your employment or tenure with Carthage. Keys may not be transferred from one employee to another.

With the exception of student room, floor CO and mailbox keys to residents, Carthage does not issues keys to academic or other auxiliary facility keys to students.

Exit doors to the residence halls and other higher security doors on campus may be controlled by a electronic card access lock. If you have access rights to a specific facility so equipped, your Carthage identification card will be encoded for use in the electronic lock. For further information on facility access policies and hours of facility operation please refer to the Carthage Community Code.
