Security ID Badge Program

Program Overview

Beginning in July of 2007, the Security ID Badge Program was adopted for employees and non-employees in high risk areas.

The Security ID Badge helps to create and promote a safe and secure environment for the University Community by eliminating concerns about unauthorized persons accessing restricted University spaces, increasing accountability of visitors to the University and providing a greater impetus to call attention to suspicious persons.

We are an open metro campus with large public and private communities and assets in our care; thus, people should be readily identifiable. Wearing a Security ID Badge makes it easier to verify a person’s authorization to be in restricted or non-public University spaces.

Who is required to wear a Security ID Badge?

Health professionals and others who are legally required to wear ID (i.e. people with access to health information)
Persons who enter non public space to provide service (i.e. Facilities Management custodians)
Persons working in targeted high-risk areas
Employees working in a 24/7 operation

Why is a Security ID Badge Program needed?

Personal safety of faculty, staff, students, visitors and research animals
Protection of University assets from theft or damage
Elimination of threat of loss or compromise to research by unauthorized personnel
Protection of the public to potentially hazardous materials
To comply with legal restrictions
