Step 2 Prepare the Keys

After receipt of the AiM customer request, Facilities staff will prepare the key(s) and/or FOB(s) and will notify the requestor when the work order is complete and ready for pick up.

Lost or Stolen Keys/Fobs

Extreme care should be taken to prevent the loss of a key since this may require changing several locks and replacing all keys to a facility. If keys are lost or stolen, the Facilities Office must be notified immediately, and the below actions should be taken. Individuals who have LOST key(s), CFI FOB(s) or Access Card(s) WILL BE charged the following fees:

$25.00 (twenty-five dollars) per traditional room Key, Access Card or CFI FOB

$50.00 (fifty dollars) per Master key

Individuals who have STOLEN key(s), CFI FOB(s) or Access Cards, will not be charged the lost key fees IF a valid police report is submitted with the key disposition form.

Step 1 Submit Work Request

The appropriate AiM user must submit a work request, using problem code “LOSS OF KEY(S)” indicating which key(s) have been lost or stolen.

IF LOST or STOLEN w/NO POLICE REPORT - a Key Disposition Form and Invoice will be generated for signatures and final processing.

If STOLEN with POLICE REPORT – Please email a copy of the Police Report to Facilities@tsc.fl.edu referencing the above AiM Work order submitted for stolen key(s). A Key Disposition Form will be generated for signatures and final processing.  

Step 2 Pay Invoice

The invoiced fees should be paid (cash or check) at the Cashier’s office, located on the 2nd floor of the Student Union (SU) building #35 and the paid receipt for invoice should be emailed to Facilities@tsc.fl.edu .

Step 3 Request Replacement

If Replacement key(s) and/or FOB(s) are desired, a new customer request must be submitted in AiM requesting such key(s) and/or FOB(s).
