Art Studio Lab Key Issue

Students currently enrolled in Art Studio classes are encouraged to get a key fob to grant access to the studio facilities and resources, as well as to keep students safe during open lab hours, especially after hours. Students may only be issued keys or fobs if their faculty has requested their access.

If approved for a key or fob by your faculty:

  1. If you are already in enrolled in a class that has been approved for a key/fob, it will be ready to be picked up from Facilities Management in the first week of the semester.
  2. If you enroll late in a class that has been approved for a key/fob, it will not be ready to be picked up from Facilities Management until Census.
  3. Visit Facilities Management to pick up your key/fob, if you do not already have one. The office is located at the front of campus, along the J street side of campus off Bay Laurel Way, behind the Athletics Center. Review the Student Key Issue Policy before you visit and be ready to show your OneCard.
  4. Return the key/fob to Facilities Management at the end of the semester/year.
