How is Door Access Ordered?

Since altering the doors is considered a “building modification”, the Planning, Design, and Construction (PD&C) department is in control of the process.  Therefore, the request must be sent to them and they evaluate the feasibility of the alterations or upgrades required.  If feasible, the order is sent to the Campus Construction Team (CCT) as the owner of the project.  CCT will contact the Networking and Telecommunications (N&T) department to obtain an estimate.  CCT will provide the total costs to the requestor who then decides to proceed or cancel the order.

Basic Steps in Detail:

	Go to the Planning, Design, and Construction web site, download their Project Request Form (PRF), fill it out completely – be sure an authorized person with authority over the FOPAL (budget) signs the document and turn it in to PD&C. If estimates are desired prior to installation, please state so.  PD&C should send it to the Campus Construction Team (CCT) who coordinates all the work.
	Review the estimate received from CCT and decide either to cancel the order or to continue.  If the PRF originally submitted requested an estimate only and did not include all authorization signatures and all budgetary information, then PD&C will close the order and a new PRF will need to be submitted.
	Review the estimate received from CCT and decide either to cancel the order or to continue.  If the PRF originally submitted did not include authorizations or budgatary information, a new PRF will be required by PD&C to proceed.  Also, see How do I authorize the order?
	If the estimate was approved, wait for CCT and N&T to complete your order. You may contact CCT anytime to determine the status of your order. It is recommneded that Computer Services (CS) also be contacted at this time so they can be working on setting up control and access for the new door(s).
