*The Key and Access Office has moved! It is now located at 1295 Franklin Boulevard.*

Residence Hall Student Access

For University Housing residence hall building keys and prox card access, students must contact their Housing Service Center, located where their mail and packages are received.

Building Access Control

Balancing security and convenience is a major challenge. The University of Oregon has invested in access control systems across campus buildings, with plans to expand to all university facilities.

Types of Access Control Systems

  • Prox Reader System

    • Uses university photo ID cards (Flock Cards) instead of brass keys.
    • Allows access during evenings and weekends.
    • Typically installed on exterior and lab doors.
    • May require a PIN in addition to the card.
      • ⚠️ Note: Cards unused for 365 days will automatically expire.

  • Schlage Locknetic Locks™

    • Requires only a PIN for entry.
    • Commonly used on labs and interior doors that remain locked.

How to Use Access Systems

Prox Card Use

  1. Hold the card near the reader (not inside a bag or holder).
  2. Wait for the green light.
  3. If required, enter your PIN.
  4. A steady green light and audible click indicate the door is unlocked.

Schlage Locknetic Use

  1. Enter the PIN provided by your department.
  2. Listen for a click and look for a blinking green light.
  3. A red light means the code was incorrect or not programmed.

Conditions of Use

  • Lost or stolen cards or shared codes must be reported to your supervisor and UOPD immediately.
  • Authorized non-university persons (e.g., contractors) must obtain access cards from the ID Card Services Office and pay a fee.
