Sacramento State dorm residents will face further restrictions beginning Friday at 3 p.m., according to an email sent to residents by Samuel Jones, director of housing operations and conference services.
All exterior doors for both consolidated halls — Riverview Hall and the American River Courtyard — will be locked 24/7, and ARC residents will be unable to use their fobs on interior doors. Riverview Hall residents will be required to swipe their ID at the front desk upon entering the building, and use their key fob to access elevators and wing entryways.
