Keys & Lockouts: 

Key cards are issued on check-in day to the resident alone. Secure and responsible use of the assigned keys rests with the resident, and as such, keys must not be redistributed or loaned to other residents or guests. Misuse, reallocation or redistribution of keys is subject to disciplinary action. If the resident loses their room key, they are subject to a $10.00 charge (to be added to ACORN/ROSI).

Please note that if you are in McLuhan Court, your room key is a hard key and is subject to a $200 charge (to be added to ACORN/ROSI).

If you lock yourself out of your room, you need to go to the Residence Services Desk. If you are locked out after Residence Services Desk office hours, contact the Don-on-Duty for your area or contact Campus Safety at 905-828-5200. The charge for lock outs is $10.00 and will be added to ACORN/ROSI for payment.
