Key Access Control Guidelines

The main information for Access Control is available in APM 40.28 — Access Control Policy for Facilities.

Card Access Control Systems Expansion

University of Idaho is continuing to expand the online campus-wide card access control, as funds become available. Standalone systems such as Locknetics will no longer be managed by the Facilities Access Control Department (FACD). Existing systems will still be maintained by the FACD. The management of existing standalone systems will gradually be phased out to online access control or put back on the key system. Departments will be responsible for costs incurred on Department doors to install Access Control hardware. However, after installation, Facilities will administer the new system at no cost to the department. The FACD will meet with and provide a hard bid for Departments desiring to add access control to doors other than the ones Facilities is administering at the present time.
