Lockouts and lost keys

It can happen to the best of us. If you find yourself locked out of your room or missing your keys, a staff member will be available to open the door and let you in.

Here's what to do if you're locked out:

  • Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm: call into the Residence Life office to get a lockout key or card.
  • After hours, weekends or public holidays: call 1800 931 633 (campus security) for lockout assistance.

You'll need photo ID to get help with a lockout.

Fees

Each student is allowed two after-hours lockouts per year free-of-charge (excluding public holidays).

If there are any further after-hours lockouts during the academic year, a $50 fee will be charged to your student account. The charges will be shown on your student financial statements.

If you're provided with a lockout key or card, you'll be charged $10 for every day it has not been returned to the Res Life office.

Late return of lockout key/card (for every 24hrs late) $10
Non-return of key tag $10
