WSC Key Distribution Process

The Worcester State College Police issue keys for the lower campus buildings, academic, facilities, and the student center only. All Residence Hall keys are issued and maintained by the Residence Life staff.

The following is the key issuance and return policy:

• A requestor of a key must e-mail Captain Morse at (dmorse@worcester.edu) and specify the need for a key, replacement of hardware, or repair. The Department Chair or Director of the area in which the key is being requested must be the one to approve the request and send the e-mail.
• If repairs or hardware replacement is required, the locksmith vendor is contacted and a service date is scheduled.
• Once the keys are received, individual orders, or hardware replacements are completed, the “requestor” is contacted by the college police. The individual who will be assigned the “new” key must come to the college police in person to sign for the key. No designees will be allowed to pick up orders for persons who will possess the key. 
• Information associated with the key such as person assigned, location, lock number, and amount of keys issued will be entered into a database at the college police department. This database will be updated and maintained by the Captain.
• Lost keys must be reported immediately to the college police via e-mail to Captain Morse. 
• When a person terminates his employment with Worcester State College it will be the responsibility of Human Resources to obtain and document all property belonging to the college including keys prior to the last paycheck being distributed. 
• The returned keys will be given back to college police for re-distribution.
