Wake Forest building access updates

Wake Forest has approved a new Building Access Policy that includes the addition of Deacon OneCard and badge access readers at the entrances of a number of University buildings that formerly did not require keycard access.

The new policy supports the safety and security of our campus community and also facilitates consistent and quick responses in the event of an emergency. These outcomes enhance the University’s ability to uphold its commitment to community engagement, outreach, service, creative work, teaching, learning and research.

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to carry their Deacon OneCard for easy access to buildings on Reynolda Campus as well as at Wake Downtown and Brookstown.

For faculty and staff inviting non-Wake Forest guests to campus, it may be necessary to greet visitors at the exterior door of the building if a keycard is required for entry.

Arrangements can be made for public access to buildings for performances, events, gatherings, research activities and approved vendors as needed with support from the Deacon OneCard Office.

The Deacon OneCard Office is located in Maya Angelou Hall, Suite 001, and can be reached by calling 336.758.1949 or emailing deacononecard@wfu.edu.

University Police Department offers online lost and found service

The University Police Department has joined with an online lost and found web site  to assist the campus community in recovering lost property.

LostandFound.com has a Wake Forest-specific web site available to students, faculty, staff and others to list anything they have lost or found at the University.  Anyone can search found items and list lost or found items on the web site.

The police department also uses the web site to post information about items its officers have found or items turned in to the department.

The police department encourages property owners who have been contacted by a finder other than the department to use caution when arranging to retrieve an item.  The police department recommends that an owner arrange to meet a finder at the department’s Alumni Hall office.  It is further recommended by the police department that an owner never agree to meet a finder at the finder’s location or an unfamiliar location.

Additionally, it is recommended that a property owner, once contacted by the police department, retrieve an item as soon as possible after contacted. Found property will be held by the police department for 180 days before the department disposes of it.

The police department has also adopted a new procedure for dealing with found Wake Forest ID cards and Wake Forest-issued keys.  Anyone who has lost an ID card is recommended to contact the Deacon OneCard Office at 336-758-1949.  Anyone who has lost a residence hall room key is recommended to contact Residence Life and Housing staff.

Additional details on how the police department handles lost and found matters is available here.  Information is also available by calling the police department’s evidence office at 336-758-5716 or emailing Taylorkc@wfu.edu.
