Lock Change Policy and Charges

Residential Life Lock Change Policy:

The Office of Residential Life holds the safety of Wesleyan students as a top priority. The loss or theft of a key is considered a security risk, as anyone who finds it is then able to access student buildings and/or rooms. Therefore, for the safety of all students, a lost key will always result in a lock change. The Office of Residential Life understands that keys maybe lost in such a way where the chances of anyone finding them are slim; however, in order to not have to distinguish between which case necessitates a lock change and which does not, the same rule applies to all.  This policy is an objective way of maintaining the safety and security of all students on campus.

Lock Change Charges:

A lost, stolen or misplaced key to ANY residential space (including front doors to Program Houses, 156 High and apartment buildings not on card access) will result in a lock change.  The cost of a lock change is $50 for materials, $20 for installation/labor and $5 per key needing to be cut according to capacity of the space and including at least one spare key for the Office of Residential Life key cabinets.

**Please note that each lost key requires a lock change.**
