KU Edwards After-Hours Campus Access

Policy
Procedure
Purpose: 

To describe the policy and procedures for obtaining access to the Edwards Campus during those times the campus is closed (after-hours).

Applies to: 

All faculty and staff.

Campus: 
Edwards
Policy Statement: 

In order for the KU Edwards Campus to provide security for its facilities and a safe environment for students, staff, faculty and visitors, building access must be restricted during those times the campus is closed (after-hours).

 All KU faculty and staff needing after-hours access must complete and submit an After-Hours Access Request Form. If after-hours access is approved, the access will be granted on a continuing basis or for the limited time period needed to complete the faculty research or special project.

After-Hours Request Process:

  • All requests for after-hours access must be made at least two weeks before the needed date(s). The requestor will receive a response by email within two business days.
  • Faculty members should submit their request to the Associate Dean of Faculty & Academic Administration.
  • Staff members should submit their request to the Director of Administrative & Fiscal Services.

Individuals without prior authorization are not permitted on the Edwards Campus when it is closed. For closures during normal Edwards Campus operating hours, such as late opening or early closure due to poor weather conditions, refer to the Inclement Weather Policies and Procedures. Whenever the Edwards Campus is officially closed, regardless of normal operating hours, the KU Edwards After-Hours Campus Access policy is in effect.
