Oklahoma State University is comprised of many buildings that serve varied functions and satisfy the diverse needs of its students, faculty, and staff. These facilities are readily accessible to students, faculty, and staff during normal working hours.

It is OSU policy to lock the doors of buildings that are not in use. Many buildings, including residence halls, have key or electronic door locks for after hours security. However, when working or studying in buildings after normal working hours, it is suggested that individual offices be locked, based upon the assumption that unrestricted access to the building is possible.

Some buildings on campus are rarely locked, at the department’s request, since students study and work on projects all hours of the day and night. Again, individual offices should be locked by the user on the presumption that the building is accessible.

Residence halls have open access between the hours of 6 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. During non-access hours, most residence hall doors are locked, although instances of propped doors have occurred. Residents are encouraged to take security precautions in the halls and rooms. Individual rooms should be locked at all times for your safety.
