To request keys for Moody College of Communication facilities, faculty and staff should contact their departmental administrator, manager, or director with the request by email. In the email, include: key recipient's full legal name as shown on their UT ID card, EID, and the Building & Room numbers for keys needed. Students should not directly request keys from departmental administrators – the student's supervisor should make the request.
NOTE: Key requests can take up to 7 BUSINESS DAYS to process from the date the Lock and Key Services (LKS) office receives the request. The Key Holder will receive an email from the LKS office once the key is available for pick-up. Please do not reach out to us before the 7 BUSINESS DAYS have expired. Doing so will only slow up the process. Thank you for your patience.
