Facilities Services will assume responsibility for issuing University keys on June 1st, 2009. This change affects keys formerly issued by the University Police department. Student residence keys continue to be handled by Residence Life.

Please note changes in key request and return procedures. Campus Key Request forms must be received, in advance, before a key may be issued.

University Staff/Student Key Issues

University staff or students must complete a Campus Key Requisition form, and obtain all required signatures, in order to receive a University Key. The original Campus Key Requisition form should be mailed or delivered to Facilities Services. Please note that anyone receiving a key is required to have a Montana State University GID# for identification.
  • The form may be faxed or emailed to Facilities Services in order to expedite processing. The original, signed, copy must be received by Facilities Services before a key may be issued.
    • Email Instructions:
      Please include only last four digits of keyholder's GID on the emailed form.
  • Faxed or emailed forms are NOT allowed for requests for building master or restricted keys.
  • Key Requests received by 10:00 am will normally be available for pick up by noon of the next working day. Facilities Services will contact the keyholder when the key is ready, as various factors may cause processing to take more or less time than usual. The key(s) must be picked up, in person, during the hours posted above. The keyholder should bring valid photo identification, and be prepared to sign for all University keys in their possession.

Key Returns

Keys may be returned to Facilities Services during the hours posted above. Keys should be returned in person. Under extenuating circumstances, keys may be returned for another person as long as all keys held by that person are returned.
