They're directly accessing the Battle Room gates. All you'd need to do is have the alarms trip further out (i.e. if someone tried to go to the bathroom). It's stated that there's a corridor leading to the Battle Rooms in canon, as I recall. Any alarms would probably be on that corridor, not in the rooms themselves. Given that there were nine rooms in rotation, putting sensors on the corridor makes sense (and saves a lot of money). Also, the rooms themselves are somewhat cut off from the main body of the station part of the time.
Basically, if someone was going to break into the space station, they generally won't appear smack in the middle of it. It's sort of like one time I got stuck in an office at my family's business: Because I was in an interior office, the alarm didn't trip, but as soon as I left the office (about 15 minutes later), it went off. Battle Room's probably operating the same way: If they went down to the main part of the station, they'd trigger security alarms of some sort out the wazoo, but as long as they stay in one Battle Room and the two gates attached to it, they're safe.
Also, if it's only sensors in the gates to the Battle Room tripping and nothing's gone off in the corridor and it's three in the morning local time, I'm willing to bet that someone's just making a note to check the system for faults whenever they get around to it and simply assuming that something's broken. That's certainly more logical than "Two people materialized in this hallway, sir. Yes, I did say materialized. No, I don't know how. And no, sir, I am not on any medication." I wouldn't be surprised if recordings are turning up, but...like I said, the alarms themselves are probably further out.
Finally, it's canon that the students were tracked through devices (probably RIFD) in their uniforms. Bean was able to go climbing through all sorts of air shafts and so forth without detection thanks to this.
Trust me, that's a good question; I didn't include it in the main post because I sought to avoid writing a novel there (as you can see by the length of my explanation), but I did think that out ahead of even the OOM. Also, I'm not against plotting some security check at some point, either...
Oh, and nice to see you too, Carabba. Sorry I didn't recognize the user ID.
