Annual Audit

Policy GE2009 requires anyone who has access to university spaces must complete an annual audit.

All employees and students who have access to buildings or office space via keys, fobs or card access. Employees who do not possess any access devices will also need to complete the annual audit to validate there are no devices assigned to them.

If you do not have possession of a key, fob or have card access, you still must complete the annual audit.

  • When your inventory page is displayed, scroll down and click 'Confirm'

Financial managers validate that the employees/students listed in their department list (those that are being paid from their org) have a business reason for access to the building/office space. If the employee works for another department, contact that financial manager to verify access is needed.

Until all employees/students listed in your department org have completed their own audit, you cannot complete the department audit. Contact the person to complete their audit.
