TO PROTECT PRIVACY RIGHTS, KEY/CARD ELIMINATES USE OF SSN

Given the concern surrounding privacy and identify theft, the Key/Card Control Center has eliminated the use of Social Security Numbers as a means of identification. As of Monday (10/1), Facilities Operations and Development has upgraded the three systems - Lenel, MDI and Keystone - that manage card access and brass keys to utilize alternative forms of identification. It is no longer necessary to provide SSN when requesting card access and brass keys. Faculty and staff will use their OSU employee ID and students will need to provide their name.# as an identifier.
