SACC General Information

What is a SACC?

A SACC is the Single Access Control Coordinator. The SACC acts as a building single point of contact for responsibilities associated with Campus Safety.

How is a SACC chosen?

The SACC is typically a seasoned Dean or Director. While this position holds great importance, it is voluntary and can be shifted to another qualified individual at any time.

SACC's Roles and Responsibilities

The SACC's Roles and Responsibilities include:

• Determine Building and Holiday hours
• Retain and update the Continuity and Operation Plan (COOP) and other Emergency Management plans as needed
• Delegate departmental designees to approve or deny access requests for their areas
• Disperse important information to building occupants (ie: emergency operation plans, drills, etc.)
• Assist in finalizing certain safety by design decisions (ie: keybox and camera locations, additional electronic access control, etc.)

1. The SACC is designated in writing by the senior faculty/staff committee or other official having direct control over the facility, department or area. The SACC has direct responsibility for coordinating access control, alarm protocols, and alarm and access control schedules.
2. Requests for access shall be submitted to the SACC. No individuals may sign their own access request.
3. Access to buildings, rooms, and closets is authorized by the SACC only when a completed access control request form is signed by the SACC. The SACC has an affiliated duty to properly inform individuals designated access of this rule and on the use and limitations of the SACC’s approval.
4. The Access Control, Safety and Security Systems department (AC&SS) may overrule a grant of access control by the SACC. In such situations, individuals may appeal, in writing in accordance with paragraph (P) of this rule if the individual believes that access was unjustly denied.
