Yes. USF says residence-hall exterior doors are secured 24 hours a day and residents use authorized access credentials.
USF Housing uses controlled exterior access and requires residents to follow card-access and guest-escort rules. Residents should never prop secured doors or allow unknown people to follow them into a building.
