Lost Keys:

• Lost keys require a fee to be paid before a new replacement key is issued.

• The keyholder or the keyholder’s department is responsible for the lost key fee.

• If the keyholder’s department agrees to pay the lost key fee, this is completed through an interdepartmental bill through SAP.

• If the keyholder is responsible for the fee, the keyholder must contact key control (NKUkeycontrol@nku.edu) for the fee amount. The keyholder must deliver a check made out to Northern Kentucky University for the fee amount and deliver the check to AC 726.

• The Key Control office will issue the replacement key.

Leaving the University:

Please return all keys to the Work Control office (MA106) or your supervisor if you are leaving the university.
