Any assistance from any University employee in regaining access (including Housing Staff, Resident Advisors, and Security) will be maintained as record concerning the occurrence. Should there be as many as three occurrences, subsequent lockouts will result in a $20.00 excessive lock out fine for each additional incidence being charged to your student account. This count is reset at the start of each academic year.
Lost/stolen Keys/J-Cards
If you lose your keys resulting in a lock change, a standard lock change fee of $125.00 will apply and a record will be maintained concerning the occurrence. Should there be a second occurrence, a repeat lock change fee of $125.00 will apply and a meeting will be scheduled with a Residence Director. Lost mailbox keys will have a $15.00 charge applied to the student account.
Residents who have lost their J-Card should notify the University immediately to prevent unauthorized access to their account as well as University buildings. Students can disable their J-Card under “Card Management” in the eAccounts App (iTunes + Play Store).

Maintenance Requests
A full staff of maintenance and custodial employees are assigned to keep the residence halls clean and well maintained. Maintenance work is prioritized so that emergency and urgent work will be accomplished first; consequently, the wait for minor repairs may be longer, especially in the busy months of September and October. When possible, it is important that you report problems early in the day in order to maximize response time.
- Monday through Friday, 8:30AM – 5PM, custodial & emergency maintenance requests should be called into Housing Facilities at (410) 516-7962.
- Monday through Friday after 5PM + on weekends/ holidays, custodial & emergency maintenance requests should be called to Campus Safety & Security at (410) 516-4600.
- Non-emergency requests should be called in or emailed to Housing Facilities ([email protected]) or can be submitted online, here.

The latest information about ongoing facilities and maintenance work in the residence halls is now shared on our website. If you have any questions about the list of current work, please contact Housing Facilities at 410-516-7962 or [email protected].
