Card Access

Your student ID card will allow you to access the exterior door of your residential building (except for College-owned apartments and the Language House). All residence halls have been wired with a keyless card reader entry system. Tampering with, disabling, or destroying the card readers, motion sensors, and door alarms is a serious issue that may impact the safety and well-being of students. Students found damaging or tampering with card readers or alarms will be subject to conduct action.

Students are required to carry their identification cards, which are issued free of charge when entering Hendrix College, at all times and to produce or surrender them when requested by College officials. Student ID cards are the property of Hendrix College and are a primary means of maintaining a secure campus environment. They may not be transferred to another person or possessed by another person.

When an ID card is lost, a new card will be issued for a fee of $25.00.

Should your card cease to function properly, take it to the SLTC Information Desk to be checked for viability. Broken ID cards will be replaced at no cost, provided the student is able to turn in the pieces of the original card.

Lost Keys

Safety and security concerns resulting from a lost residence room or apartment key require that the room or apartment be re-cored and new keys be issued to residents. Lost housing keys must be immediately reported to your area coordinator. Their contact information can be obtained from your RA or by emailing them here.

Each resident is issued one room/apartment key. The key is not transferable. The reproduction of issued keys and unauthorized possession, loaning, or distribution of any Hendrix key is prohibited. When a room key is lost, you will be charged a fee, which will cover the cost to change the room lock and make the keys to that lock. If a new key is issued and the original key is found, no refunds will be made unless we can stop the recore before the work is begun.

Lockouts

If you lock yourself out of your room/apartment, please follow the steps in the order they are listed.

1.  Call your roommate(s).

2.  Call your RA.

3.  Call any other RA in the building. (Between 9 PM and 8 AM, ask the RA on duty.)

4.  Call your area coordinator or, between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays, you can stop by the Residence Life office.

5.  Call Public Safety at 501-450-7711.
