7.11 USE OF FACILITIES AFTER CLOSING HOURS

Effective: August 15, 2024

Purpose: At times there are legitimate reasons for faculty, staff members, and students to be in University facilities after buildings are closed and locked.  

Scope: This policy applies to all University facilities campus wide.

Responsible Office: Campus and Facilities

Policy Statement: Faculty, staff, and students are expected to notify the University’s Police and Safety when they enter, work in, or leave a campus instructional building after closing hours. They should expect to show identification cards, and students must also show after-hour permits.

After closing hours permits are not required for faculty and staff. Students must have an after closing hours permit form signed by the a unit supervisor on file at the University’s Police and Safety. Such permits are not transferable, and holders retain the responsibility for safety and property in their working areas. Permits must designate the specific place and the hours the permit is valid with the period of time noted on the card. All students remaining within the designated areas after closing hours must notify the University’s Police and Safety. The permit holder may not bring other individuals into the building. A faculty member bringing a student into a building becomes responsible for the student and for the property within the area.

Definitions: All words and phrases shall be interpreted utilizing their plain meanings unless otherwise defined in another University or Board of Regents policy or by statute or regulation.

Procedures: All procedures linked and related to the policies above shall have the full force and effect of policy if said procedures have first been properly approved by the University’s administrator in charge of Campus and Facilities.
