With the new campus security protocols in place, all students will need to have a Luther Seminary ID card with them at all times when on campus. If you have an ID card already, please remember to bring it with you whenever you come to campus. If you do not yet have an ID card, please visit the library during regular library hours and head to the front desk on a walk-in basis to get an ID card.

During winter semester, all exterior doors on campus will remain locked at all times, and a Luther Seminary ID will be required for building access. Your ID card can be used to access doors on each campus building: Gullixson Hall. West entrance (Door 2); Bockman Hall. North (Door 7), South (Door 4), East (Door 3), and West (Door 5) entrances; Olson Campus Center. Upper East (Door 10), Lower East (Door 11), Upper West (Door 9), and Lower West (Door 8) entrances. In addition, each building has one door with a video intercom system that connects to the Operations Desk in Olson Campus Center—or the Library circulation desk in the case of Gullixson Hall.  

• Gullixson Hall. West entrance (Door 2)
• Bockman Hall. North entrance (Door 7)
• Olson Campus Center. Lower East (Door 11) and Lower West (Door 8) entrances

The intercom system will be staffed during regular Operations Desk hours: Monday–Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays 1–10 p.m. The library will be open to the public Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on weekends. The decision to keep doors locked at all times is primarily for enhancing security measures on campus. The number of people on campus has declined significantly in recent years as more students move to distributed learning programs and staff has moved to hybrid work. By maintaining locked doors, the seminary can better control access to its facilities, ensuring the safety and security of students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
