Alarm and Access Systems

Overview

Use this service to request security to program code and monitor Alarm & Access systems to gain access when a building is closed, locked and security system armed.

IMPORTANT: This service is only monitored during UFV's regular business hours.

What to do if you are locked out

Everybody locks their office with their card or key inside at least once. Or you may find yourself on the wrong side of a door with your belongings locked in a conference room or classroom. If you need immediate access to an area, please call security at 1-855-239-7654 (local 7654) and security personnel will assist as soon as possible.

How to arrange ongoing access to a campus area

  • If you are new to UFV, first visit the Campus Card office to have your employee ID picture taken. The Campus Card office will send your new card to Security.
  • If you already have your employee ID card, Security can program your card access remotely. You do not need to bring your card to Security.
  • You'll receive an email with instructions once your request is processed. Your request may take up to seven business days to be completed.
  • If you are picking up a physical key, please bring a government or UFV identification with you.
