How secure are the halls? Can anyone get into my hall?
Anyone who lives in a residence hall can enter their hall with their KU Card. Anyone who does not live in the residence hall, scholarship hall, or apartment complex must be escorted by a resident.
Halls are locked to anyone who does not have a valid KU Card.
Here are the other security precautions in the KU Department of Student Housing:
- Residents must scan their identification card to enter their building
- Student security staff members walk throughout buildings from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Resident Assistants and professional staff on call 24/7
- Security cameras at entrances and exits to all buildings
- Health and safety checks performed each semester in all rooms
- KU Public Safety patrols campus
