Key Card Access Update

Effective immediately, the door at the north end of the RHL Graduate Wing (by classroom DL 125) will be locked 24/7. Graduate students may enter the building through this door using their student card. We are attempting to reduce the number of people walking through the RHL Graduate Wing, making your classrooms and graduate breakout rooms quieter and less distracting. Only faculty, staff and Sauder graduate students should have access through these doors.
