Requesting Keys and Card Access

Questions

Call 757-683-4269 with any questions or issues involving key requests.

ODU Facilities Management is entrusted with the vital task of protecting the security of the Monarch community and property through the secure regulation of keys. For safety reasons, most campus facilities are kept locked by traditional metal keys and/or prox cards.

The process to request physical metal keys or electronic access using your ODU ID card for offices, certain building entrances, and building masters is completely done ONLINE! Paper forms for key requests are not accepted.

Need to request access for students, guests, vendors, contractors or groups? Click on "To Offices" in the Request Door Access section below and select the "Sponsor" Requester Type option to get started. Please contact dooraccess@odu.edu with any questions.

If you are transferring jobs, leaving the university, or otherwise no longer need your keys, please return them directly to Facilities Management to avoid a charge.

If you are an administrator who needs to regularly request access on behalf of other employees, students, or vendors that you do not supervise, you may request admin access.
