OF RECORD

PennCard Policy

Please be advised that in response to national and local security concerns, the Security Services Department at the Division of Public Safety has updated the UniversityÕs Security Policy regarding the use of buildings after-hours and the displaying of University identification. 

Effective immediately all persons (students, staff, and faculty) are required to prominently display their PennCard (or official UPHS identification)

• between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a. m. Monday through Friday and
• from 10 p.m. on Friday night through 7 a.m. on Monday morning.

Previously the display of PennCard identification was only mandated between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m on weekends as well as weekdays. Persons observed by security/police in a campus building that is not open for scheduled public activity between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 p.m. on Friday night through 7 a.m. on Monday morning without a PennCard (or official UPHS identification) will be asked to leave the building, and will not be able to re-enter until they can produce valid University identification.

We would appreciate your cooperation with this policy. The full text of this policy is available online at www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/policies/
