Employee Security/Access to Rooms and Buildings
Most campus facilities are unlocked when classes are in session. Regular operating hours for our facilities are Monday thru Friday 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, closed Sundays and Holidays. Special arrangements can be made for off-hour access by obtaining written approval from each college’s Vice President of Administrative Services or their designee (AP 3501).
Employees who need to enter facilities during non-business hours and have received approval from their respective Vice President must also have proper identification and notify the District Police of their presence by calling 408-270-6468 prior to entering campus facilities.
This procedure is intended to maximize the security of individuals and facilities and to avoid trespassing and false intrusion alarm calls to the police. Custodial and Police Services staff check campus facilities during non-business hours but it is the responsibility of those who use offices and rooms to lock access doors, turn off lights, and close/lock windows upon their departure.
There are no residential facilities on the campuses of San José City College or Evergreen Valley College.
Keys to facilities are provided to employees by utilizing the Building Access Request link below and obtaining the appropriate approval (AP 6520).
Lost keys are to be reported to the authorizing administrator and Police Services. Facility keys are not to be loaned or duplicated. Key duplication is a misdemeanor, per Section 469 of the California Penal Code.
No District equipment or property may be removed from any District property without written permission from an appropriate administrator. Unauthorized removal of District property is a violation of the law that may result in prosecution.
Requesting Building Access
In an effort to streamline all building access requests and/or building access related problems such as a faulty alarm or broken lockset, Police Services asks that employees utilize the same link as noted above. All requests will go to the locksmith(s) to troubleshoot and provide a timely solution.
