Starting March 16, 2020, all campus buildings will require UT ID access to enter. Separate protocols are in place for the Student Services Building, parts of which serve as a health care facility. Staff, contract employees and deliveries should use the north doors on the first floor or ground floor. Visitors and most patients will use the south entrance on Dean Keeton, and patients being directed to the UHS respiratory clinic will use the east doors.
-
Employees attempting to enter a building should enter via the building’s celebrated entrance using their UT ID card. A celebrated entrance is typically a main entrance, but employees should look for the ID card swipe pad and words “Celebrated Entrance” printed on the doors to locate the building’s celebrated entrance.
-
Any questions or concerns related to building access can be directed to seccontrol@its.utexas.edu.
