Keys and Card Access

 Card Keys

Card keys are used for meal plans, claremont cash, access to the cmc fitness center, academic building entrances and residence hall access. If you live in a dorm with a card reading lock on your door and would like further instruction on how to use your new lock, please click here.

Keys

Story House is in charge of the inventory and distribution of dorm room keys. Keys are checked out at the beginning of each semester and checked in at the end of each semester. Every student is accountable for his or her own keys.

Hold on to them!!!! When a room key is lost, the door must be re-keyed for your security. The cost is $150.
