Campus Security Gates
Belmont Abbey College will activate the residential gates on March 25, 2024. The gates will close at 10 p.m. each evening and open at 6 a.m. the following morning. Therefore, the gates will require Belmont Abbey College ID Card access from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day. The college’s main entrance gate will remain open until a later date.

Emergency vehicle sirens operate on standard frequencies. This means that the gates will open automatically for emergency vehicles.
