Keys 

Master Keys 

Master keys are held by: 

1. All Library Senior Leaders (Dean, Associate Dean, Associate Directors) 
2. Building Operations & Security Staff 
3. Select RL ITDS employees 
4. The Circulation Desk has a barcoded master key that, in the event of being locked of an office or other space, employees can check out with a UNCW OneCard and promptly return. Students and non-UNCW employees are NOT allowed to check out the Master Key 

Other Keys 

Since the building was rekeyed in 2013, a process has been in place to track individual keys requests and key ownership at Randall Library. Under this policy, that process will remain in place and in accordance with University standards. 

Key requests should be entered through the Work Order Tracking List on SharePoint and are subject to approval.
