WSC Key Distribution Process

The Worcester State College Police issue keys for the lower campus buildings, academic, facilities, and the student center only. All Residence Hall keys are issued and maintained by the Residence Life staff.

The following is the key issuance and return policy:

     •   A requestor of a key must e-mail Deputy Chief of Police,
         Dan Morse at (dmorse@worcester.edu) and specify the
         need for a key, replacement of hardware, or repair. The 
         Department Chair or Director of the area in which the
         key is being requested must be the one to approve
         the request and send the e-mail.

     •   If repairs or hardware replacement is required, the locksmith 
         vendor is contacted and a service date is scheduled.

     •   Once the keys are received, individual orders, or hardware 
         replacements are completed, the “requestor” is contacted by 
         the college police. The individual who will be assigned the “new” 
         key must come to the college police in person to sign for the 
         key. No designees will be allowed to pick up orders for persons 
         who will possess the key. 

     •   Information associated with the key such as person assigned, 
         location, lock number, and amount of keys issued will be 
         entered into a database at the college police department. This 
         database will be updated and maintained by the Deputy Chief.

     •   Lost keys must be reported immediately to the college police 
         via e-mail to Deputy Chief Morse. 

     •   When a person terminates his employment with Worcester 
         State College it will be the responsibility of Human Resources 
         to obtain and document all property belonging to the college 
         including keys prior to the last paycheck being distributed. 

     •   The returned keys will be given back to college police for re-
         distribution.
