Augsburg University residence halls are locked 24/7 and are only accessible by fob for the students who live, and staff who work, in the building. All guests (including current and former students, staff, or faculty) visiting residence halls must be escorted at all times by a resident of the specific residence hall, a staff member who works in the residence hall, Residence Life staff, or Public Safety staff.
