Access Cards
 The policies for student use of access cards in the Kennedy/Keller
& 609 Watson Engineering Buildings are as follows:
 For safety purposes, all students utilizing an Engineering Building
during any non-business hours (Daily after 5 PM, plus Weekends
and Holidays) are required to use the "buddy system" while in the
rooms of any building. This means there must be a minimum of
two (2) students within any occupied room within any School of
Engineering building.
 If you are unsure if other engineering students will be in a building
when you arrive, you may bring one guest with you. This guest
must be over the age of 13 and be capable of following
EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS located directly adjacent to
telephones in each lab of the Engineering Buildings. This will
satisfy the "buddy system" requirement.
Access Cards
 DO NOT BE IN ANY LAB OF AN ENGINEERING BUILDING ALONE!
Should Pew Campus Security personnel find you in any
engineering building alone, they have the authority to confiscate
your access card and escort you from the building.
 The last group or individuals entering the building or a room
will be held responsible for any damage or loss that occurs
within that room or building.
 The roof of the Keller Engineering Building is off limits to all
students unless escorted by faculty or supervisory staff.
Violation of this rule will result in the revocation of your

semester plus an additional semester.
