Safety and Security

  • Access

    All residence halls are secured through the Commodore Card access system and are accessible to residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Stairwells and elevators are also card-access controlled so that only residents can access their building鈥檚 residential floors.

    Shared spaces such as kitchens, study rooms, laundry rooms, and music practice rooms are similarly access-controlled to support the safety and security of the residential听community.

    For听more information about the card access system, including how to report a mobile card issue, visit听Card Services.
