Building Access

All major campus facilities now are equipped with a swipe-lock system. A valid Rutgers ID card is required in order to enter these buildings: Armitage Hall, Athletic and Fitness Center, Business and Science Building, Campus Center, Fine Arts Building, Law School Buildings, Nursing and Science Building, Paul Robeson Library, Science Building, and 319 Cooper (Honors College).

When the fall semester begins, currently enrolled students will have swipe access to those buildings starting 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the first and last scheduled classes, which normally would be 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Major academic buildings that hold Saturday classes will be accessible to students from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students who need to access those buildings outside of those may do so with special permission from a department head and a dean.

The Division of Student Life will determine the operating hours for the Campus Center and the Athletic and Fitness Center and will work with the Rutgers University Libraries to determine the operating hours for the Robeson Library. The Law Library will be available to law students only for research and study. The Law School might offer different hours of access to the Law School Buildings as needed.

Faculty and staff will continue to have open access to their offices, laboratories, and studios in all major academic buildings. Other Rutgers–Camden buildings remain available by key and/or swipe lock. Access to these buildings is limited to the occupants and their designees.

At all times, Rutgers–Camden students, faculty, and staff will need to keep their current Rutgers ID cards on them. If your Rutgers ID is lost, please contact the Rutgers University Police Department. Information about obtaining a new Rutgers ID card is available here.

As indicated by President Holloway, there will be no access to Rutgers–Camden facilities for the non-Rutgers community through the end of 2020 unless the visitor is on official business. Departments that envision hosting a visitor on official business must provide that visitor with a telephone number so that the guest may call the department upon arrival on campus. “Official visitors” will be required to register in a logbook maintained by the department.
