Entry into Halls and Lost Identification Procedures

For the safety and protection of everyone, residence halls are not open to the general public; rather they are staffed by a Security Officer (SO). The SO will require that a resident present their Temple University identification card prior to gaining admission to the building. These cards allow residents only into the residence hall or complex in which they reside.  If this identification card is lost or stolen, a new card must be obtained, and residents may obtain a temporary identification card at the front office of their residence hall if a replacement card cannot be immediately obtained.

The Temple University identification card is the property of Temple University, and, as such, is not transferable. Misuse of the card could result in a disciplinary action.
