Guests & Keys

Guests in Residence

You may have overnight guests if you complete a Guest Registration Form at the RID. Your roommate must sign the form to show his/her agreement. Overnight guests will not be permitted during Orientation Week, exam periods, Homecoming weekend, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter weekend. Guests are limited to no more than two consecutive nights, and no more than 10 overnight visits per year. Overnight Guest parking is available on Friday and Saturday nights only. Your guest must complete a Guest Parking Permit Form available from RID or security to register his or her vehicle. Residents are responsible for their guests at all times.

Residence Keys Key Policy

The keys issued to you are for your use only. Do not lend your keys to anyone.

If you lose your keys, a replacement set can be ordered from Central Services (mail room).

Replacement key fees: • $10 per temporary swipe card • $15 per key • $40 for a full set of keys.

Keys must be paid for when the order is placed.

At the end of the year, any resident who submits unauthorized copies of keys (keys not made by King's personnel) will be billed $155 for room lock and key replacement.

Residents are not permitted to change, modify, or install locks or security devices without prior approval from the Residence Office.

Emergency Keys

A full set of emergency keys is available at the RID. If you lose your keys, or get locked out of your room, you may borrow a set of emergency keys for a 48-hour period. After one reminder, residents will be billed for key replacement, and, if appropriate, lock replacement.

Card Access

The MyKing’s 1Card system uses your student card to pay for laundry, to use the printers and copiers, access buildings and as a meal card. This will allow access to your assigned residence building simply by placing your student card next to the key access panel. Lost or Stolen Card Residents can acquire a “loaner card” from the RID. Residents will have five days to return the loaner card before the card is deactivated. There is a $10 replacement fee for cards that are lost or not returned. Questions or Concerns?
