Lost or Stolen Keys

If your keys are lost or stolen

In the event keys are lost or stolen, notify Key Control immediately and file a Lost/Stolen Key Report with University Safety.  The report shall include all facts surrounding the loss or theft.  If the loss is due to a theft or alleged criminal activity, a police report must also be filed with the appropriate law enforcement jurisdiction and a copy of such report delivered to University Safety.

All fees for lost/stolen keys, must be paid for by the responsible key holder before replacement keys will be issued.  Fees will only be waived or allowed to be paid by other than the responsible key holder with approval by the Vice President for Administration and Finance.

A request for such an exception shall be made to your immediate supervisor who, upon support, has the option to take your request through your chain of command up to the Vice President or Provost level.  With support from the applicable Vice President or the Provost, the request shall be submitted to the Director of Facilities Management for consideration.  The Director of Facilities Management shall make a recommendation to the Vice President for Administration and Finance based on circumstances of the loss or theft.

Exceptions will only be granted where appropriate protective measures were taken and the circumstances for loss were beyond the key holder’s control.
