In order to meet program needs and accommodate work schedules, degree students may access the Goldsmith Campus facilities 24 hours a day, commencing with the first day of classes and ending on the last scheduled day of class/critique, except during holiday periods. Facilities access is subject to the guidelines and limitations below. Any person who fails to comply with these policies will forfeit the right to 24-hour access and will not be permitted on campus from 10:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m.
Otis College is a closed campus. All students must use their student ID card to gain access to the parking garage and all pedestrian entrance points onto campus at all times. Certain buildings and locations are also restricted by access control readers. Students with guests will need to obtain a guest pass from the Campus Safety Office located on the first floor of Academic building room 170. To register a guest, the student and guest must present to the campus safety officer the following: (a) a valid Otis College ID card, (b) first and last names, (c) anticipated work location(s), and (d) signature in the sign-in book. The student must accompany their guest at all times.
The Wood Shop and the Metal Shop are unavailable to students outside the hours posted for each shop. For safety reasons, students are not allowed to use personal power tools outside the shop areas. In the event of an emergency, call Campus Safety at 310-665-6965 or through the LiveSafe app for direct access to a Campus Safety Officer. Current students may request After-Hours access to a computer classroom by obtaining written permission from their department and Academic Computing. Once written permission is provided and posted, students will be allowed to stay in the computer room after closing. The overnight students are responsible for overnight security while they are in the rooms. The doors are to remain LOCKED from the outside all night, and no one is allowed in the room without written permission. Students who have permission to be in a computer classroom after noon may not leave the building and return at a later time.
