Onity locking systems will be on our campus starting Tuesday February 15, 2005 to complete a scheduled upgrade. The schedule has the Onity crew working from 9 A.M. until 6 P.M. If there is a change in this schedule, Housing will send an e-mail notification to you. This upgrade will improve the performance and efficiency of our locks.

The process will require a technician to visit each lock for 15 minutes. They will be installing new components to the lock and will need to access both sides of it. While your key should continue to work after the upgrade, if during this process your key fails to operate the door there will be three options available to you. (1) Visit the Morewood A tower kiosk and manually re-encode your student ID yourself by clicking on "Resident Checkin" or (2) Visit the Housing Services office to have the Housing staff re-encode your key or (3) Call campus police, 8-2323, and one of the Onity Technicians will respond for the repair. The Housing office is open Monday thru Thursdays from 8 A.M. until 7 P.M, and on Fridays from 8 A.M. until 5 P.M.

Below is the tentative schedule for this process. This schedule differs from the original due to changes in Onity's manpower. We appreciate your cooperation during this upgrade. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your facility coordinator.
