For the full text of MBU’s building security measures and student expectations related to residential keys and access, please review the “Move-In Agreement” section of The Residence Life Handbook.

Finally, Residence Life works closely with MBU’s Facility Management Services to ensure security and access measures are in working order. If students or staff notice an alarmed emergency door, card access reader, exterior lighting along campus passageways, or emergency alert and contact stations are not in good working order, they should notify the Residence Director of the building or Office of Public Safety.
