After-Hours Use Of University Facilities Policy - NMU Policies and Requirements

Faculty and Staff Access
Faculty and staff who are issued physical keys or electronic access credentials may enter University facilities at their discretion, consistent with their assigned access permissions.

Student Access
Whenever possible, students must use University facilities under the supervision of a University employee. When a student must access a facility outside supervised hours to complete work assigned by an instructor, supervisor, or advisor, all of the following conditions must be met:

• The student has prior written approval, where written approval is defined as either a paper or electronic/email evidence of approval from the instructor, supervisor, or advisor that specifies the project to be completed and the dates and times of facility use.
• If the facility is managed by a different unit or individual, additional written approval must be obtained from the responsible party.
• The student must carry a copy of the written approval and present it to University employees upon request.
• Copies of the written approval must be provided via email to:
  • NMU Police Department
  • The unit or individual responsible for the facility

Students are issued exterior access keys through the Key Request app. In general, students may not be issued building keys or granted unrestricted access to any University building unless such access is required for their University employment and they have received prior written approval from the appropriate Department head or Dean or Director through the Key Request app.
