Physical cut keys for university buildings, rooms, bollards, and gate openers are issued by the FAMA Key Office (1486 Mitchell Street) to faculty, staff, and students.
Exception: Residence Hall and Dining Hall keys are issued by the Housing Office (960 W. Douglas Street).
Keys are issued to individuals only and become their personal responsibility. To receive a key, the individual must:
- Personally pick up the key(s) from the issuing office
- Present a valid University of Arkansas ID card - Universal ID required.
- Digitally acknowledge receipt and responsibility for the key(s)
Keys must be picked up within 30 days of issuance.
The Key Office is responsible for collecting fees as appropriate to secure the return of keys and offset the expenses of replacing keys and re-keying when necessary. The current fees are posted online at Departmental Rates & Fees | Facilities Management | University of Arkansas (uark.edu) and will be updated annually to reflect market costs.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
The legacy publication 409.3 Keys for University Buildings and Rooms on the VCFA website is the 2015 procedural guideline for obtaining and replacing Keys to Buildings and Rooms. The document is being reviewed and will be revised with a Key Policy that defines the key office agency and the responsibilities of key holders under this new.
Bollard and gate openers are provided by the Facilities Management Key Office on either a permanent or temporary basis to Facilities Management employees, University departments, and University-approved contractors, vendors, or organizations. Fees or deposits may apply. Full details are available in the Campus Gate Opener/Bollard Key Policies and Procedures.
