Electronic Security

The University Police's Electronic Security division is comprised of two areas: the Badging Office and Security Systems.

Security Badging Office

Access Control Badges

Access control badges provide photo and role identification, library privileges, and electronic access to locked and alarmed areas.  University policy requires that students, staff, and faculty wear badges visibly (between neck and waist) while on campus.  Displaying the badge lets other students know that you are a student, faculty or staff member.  Temporary badges are not issued in lieu of forgotten or lost access control badges.  Building/program administrators approve student access to the buildings and areas needed for their particular course of study or research, as well as to the student computer centers, study areas, and the student center and student lounges.

You are required to keep your access control badge secured and immediately report a lost or stolen badge to the Security Badging Office (4-0399) or to the police (4-4444).  Policy prohibits you from lending or borrowing badges, admitting unauthorized personnel, or otherwise gaining or granting unauthorized access to campus facilities.

Do not hold/prop open card-controlled doors or other secured doors, as this will initiate alarms to the Police Department.  Misuse or abuse may result in adverse administrative action or denial of card access privileges.  Badges are the property of the University and must be returned prior to graduation or separation.  You may not cut, bend, or punch holes in your badge, nor expose it to heat, since this will break internal wiring and disable it for access.  Badges are printed on both sides so that identifiable information is always visible.  Do not place cards or other materials in the badge carrier to obstruct the card information.  Lost or abused cards may result in a $18 replacement charge.  You do not need to display your RTD card and it should not be carried against your university access control card as misreads or denial of access may result. 

Obtaining Badges

The schools' respective administrators schedule students for badging during registration or orientation. Each student must present either a driver's license or government-issued ID (each non-citizen must present a current and valid passport) before the badge will be issued.  Please note that the last name on the identification must match the name used to register with the University.  The badging staff will ask for any academic or professional credentials you may have to add as post-nominals to your name.  RTD badges will be issued at the same time at the Security Badging Office.

Using Badges for Card Access

Card readers are located adjacent to card access-controlled doors.  Card readers are rectangular dark gray or black panels, which are approximately 1" in depth and 2" X 4" in height and width.  To unlock a card-reader door, pass the badge slowly across the front of the card reader within a few inches of its surface. If the reader recognized that your card grants access to the door, a beep will sound and a green light will illuminate.  The system then unlocks the door.  If the door has a door strike, you may hear a click.  You will not hear a sound for magnetic locks.  At this point, you will have about five seconds to open the door manually at a hinged door or approach an automatic door.  If using an automatic door opener, first present your card to the card reader and then press the door opener.

Please report malfunctions to the Electronic Security Office (4-0014), providing your name and telephone numbers, the reader at which you had difficulty, the date an time of occurrence, and whether the card reader beeped. If you are having problems with your badge, please stop at the Security Badging Office for assistance (Fitzsimons building, Room N1207).  For after-hours assistance, please contact University Police (4-4444).  After verifying your access privileges for after-hours access to the area, the police dispatcher will send assistance to your location.

Replacing a Badge

Replacement fee for a lost badge or damage (due to negligence) is $18.

Replacement fee for RTD College Pass [for students] is $20.

The Security Badging Office accepts checks and credit cards (Visa or MasterCard).

NO REPRINT FEE FOR THE FOLLOWING

• Replacement due to a change in name, title, department, credentials or status
• Reprint due to a new/extended expiration date.

Video Surveillance

The University has installed cameras in key areas of the campus to monitor and record a variety of security.  Generally, cameras are installed on roofs, at primary entrances and in interior spaces where security monitoring is important.  Programs capture camera imagery, when involved in an alarm, to display to the police dispatchers.  Cameras are not present in areas where there is an expectation of privacy.
