- Department Access Facilitators and Building Access Coordinators will be responsible for working with the access control manager in the Life Safety and Security Systems Office to design and assign clearance codes which serve the needs of the department and fit within the CACS General and Security Policy. In addition, the Building Access Coordinator and his/her pre-approved delegates will schedule building open hours, and authorize building “unlockings” for special events.
- The Life Safety and Security Systems Office is responsible for programming clearance codes and special events as well as issuing clearances in accordance with the policy and procedures defined in this document.

The Life Safety and Security Systems Office will activate/deactivate the cards and program the clearance codes for Loaner Cards “on demand” as well as offering “active” cards programmed with the exterior doors only; however, any department requesting “active” cards will be expected to comply with control procedures which mirror those the Lock Shop has for keys.

- The Life Safety and Security Systems Office will accept authorization for unlocking exterior doors for a University sponsored event if authorized by the Department of Public Safety since the Department of Public Safety is the primary contact.
- An appeals process will be implemented to hear requests by individuals who have been refused the access they feel they need. The appeal must be in writing and sent to the Life Safety and Security Systems Office. The Building Access Coordinator and Department Access Facilitator refusing access will be included the process.
