If you have locked yourself out of your vehicle, and you are a member of an automobile club such as AAA, please call them for service.

If you are not a member of an automobile club, call the University Police at 974-2628. Ask the dispatcher to contact a local locksmith for you.

If you feel unsafe while you are waiting for the locksmith service to arrive, please ask the dispatcher to send a U.S. Security Associates security officer, a parking enforcement specialist, or a police officer to wait with you until help arrives.
