Students are permitted to use campus facilities 24 hours/day, subject to the guidelines and limitations below. The sign-in procedure described below has been implemented to promote campus availability while safeguarding the health and safety of the campus community. Students who fail to observe these guidelines are not permitted to remain on-campus from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.

Any student intending to access campus (including campus buildings, grounds and facilities) past 1:00 a.m. must complete the sign-in procedure at the Security Desk on the first floor lobby of Ahmanson prior to 1:00 a.m. Students arriving on campus after 1:00 a.m. will be turned away. After 1:00 a.m. no visitors are allowed on campus property, i.e. siblings, family, non-Otis friends, guests.

The sign-in procedure requires the student to provide security personnel with the following: (a) a valid Otis ID card; (b) his/her full name; (c) the location he/she intends to visit/work; and (d) his/her signature on the sign-in book.

Once the sign-in procedure has been completed, the student is permitted to move around the campus normally. However, for security purposes, the student is required to present his/her valid Otis ID card upon re-entering Ahmanson and Galef buildings.

The entrance gate to the parking garage is closed at 1:00 a.m., regardless of a student's sign-in status. Although students may exit the parking garage at anytime, they may not enter or re-enter the parking garage from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.

A student's sign-in is only valid on the date on which it occurs.
