Key / Card Access

Overview

Use this service to activate your campus card, request a key, or report a lost card or key.

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

  • Ask your Dean, Department Head, or supervisor to complete the Key / Card Access form accessible by clicking the "Request Key / Card Access" button. Security will program your card with appropriate access.
  • 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.
