More tech help options

To access audio-visual (AV) cabinets in auditoria and technology-enhanced classrooms, instructors are now using electronic lock combinations instead of physical AV keys. Lock combinations are available in SPIRE to those instructors teaching in classrooms equipped with AV cabinets. This change went into effect in fall 2013.

Cabinet keys are no longer in use. Please do not contact the Provost’s Office to request a key.

Obtain Your Lock Combination

Log in to SPIRE with your IT Account NetID and password.
In the top navigation bar, go to Faculty Home, then click Classroom Locks. The Classroom Lock Combination screen will open.
On the Classroom Lock Combinations screen, in the Lock Combination column, you will see a 4-digit lock combination if you are teaching in a classroom equipped with an AV cabinet.
