For Employees

Building & Room Access

Many of the doors at USF St. Petersburg are equipped with an electronic locking system. This allows locks to be programmed to automatically lock and unlock on a schedule. Key cards, also known as proxy cards provide access to secured areas. With this system, authorized users, such as USF St. Petersburg Police, can instantly implement a campus-wide “lock down” in the event of an emergency.

STUDENT ID CARDS

Student residents use their USF ID Cards to gain access to the Residence Halls. Residents should contact Housing & Residence Life with questions or issues.
