Access Policy
SKC maintains an open campus. Instructors regulate access to the classrooms and laboratories. Campus Security is responsible for evening access to buildings and their lockup.
The SKC security system covers all of the buildings on campus. All buildings contain Infrared Sensors, door switches and smoke alarms. Each of these sensors are tied into a master security panel in each building, which trigger various alarms. The Plant Manager and Night Watchman activate and deactivate the systems at night, in the morning or for various activities that take place for each building. During the day while the building is in use the only systems that are active are the smoke alarms and tamper systems. The tamper system maintains proper operating systems; if a device is tampered with an alarm will sound. The smoke alarms have a line monitor system that monitors the wiring to the smoke alarms, if a line becomes open or damaged an alarm will sound. All systems in all buildings are checked on regular intervals to maintain proper operating status and to insure that battery backup systems are in good working order.
SKC Student Housing is patrolled regularly by Campus Security. Access to individual units is controlled in accordance with the SKC Hewankorn Student Housing Handbook. Keys are issued to the head of household. SKC Hewankorn Student Housing Depart maintains the key system and enters units according to the SKC Hewankorn Student Housing Handbook. These units are equipped with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, which are on a maintenance schedule.
