Hours of Operation

Hours of Operation

Because the office needs to respond to emergency situations that may arise anywhere on the campuses, its hours of operation may vary somewhat. Typically, it is open at least from 8:00 a.m. until noon, and from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday ( Holidays excluded ). Often it will be open earlier or later than this as well.

However, in the event that emergencies arise and require the technicians to respond, you may find it temporarily closed for short periods of time even during these hours. The Office makes every effort to avoid such situations and regrets any inconvenience they may cause you, but be assured that when they occur, it is because they are unavoidable.

For after hours emergencies or on weekends, contact the Facilities Services duty officer ( or for Lost/Stolen ID/Access Cards, the Campus Police ) to have a technician paged from his home or wherever he may be on his time off away from the campus.

If you lose your ID/access card after hours, the card can be cancelled remotely once the technician is contacted by Campus Police, but because of the volume of this sort of incident, it would not be reasonable to run the technician back to campus to issue a new card each time. Otherwise, he or she would have literally NO time off. Instead, you will need to make arrangements to "buddy up" with a friend or room-mate until the next regular operating hours of the ID Office in the Ulrich Center to pick up your new card. There is no charge for cancelling the lost/stolen card, but a $10 fee ( on your Bursar account ) for the replacement card is typical in most circumstances.
