Keys and Access Control
Key Requests involve granting physical access to areas throughout the UTRGV campuses
Please note that our processes have changed.
Requests must be submitted in PeopleAdmin within the hiring proposal as part of the onboarding process.
Requests must be submitted through the new HR Portal (see instructions below under “How to submit a request for keys”).
Requests must be submitted in iShop.
After the Key Request form is submitted and approved, a work order is created in TMA. Once keys are ready, the Locksmith will email the requestor notifying that the keys are available for pick-up.
How to submit a request for Keys
