CAMPUS VISITOR POLICY
GENERAL STATEMENT
The University of West Alabama will implement and enforce a
strict visitor policy on the inner campus. Due to the flow of traffic on the
North Loop, Lake Drive, Stadium Drive, Grean Drive, and Bibb Graves Drive, the
policy will not be enforced on moving vehicles. The policy will be enforced on
all parked vehicles and on all other streets and in UWA parking lots. For
purposes of this policy, a legitimate visitor is defined as a visitor with a
stated and specific purpose of appropriate business on the University campus.
PURPOSE
The purpose of establishing a strict policy for visitors is
an attempt to protect the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff, to
prevent unauthorized use of University facilities, to protect University
property, and to provide a campus environment consistent with the mission of the
institution.
POLICY
Frequent visitors to the campus will be provided a
distinctive visitor "hang tag." This hang tag will be good for a
period of four years. The frequent visitor tag will be provided, at no charge,
upon completion of a request form at Moon Hall. The visitor decal request must
include a legitimate reason for being on the campus, name, make of automobile,
tag number, and proof of liability insurance on the vehicle. This will include
local residents and alumni who frequently visit the SUB, cafeteria, pool,
wellness center, and other campus facilities. Vendors in vehicles clearly
identifying the company will not be required to have a decal.
Visitor decals that are assigned to a particular individual
and vehicle are not transferable. Also, when the visitor changes vehicles, the
decal must be transferred to the new vehicle.
Persons parking vehicles on campus while walking the loop
will be required to have a visitor decal and should park in the lower SUB lot or
at the tennis court lot.
Infrequent visitors, upon the request of the sponsoring UWA
department, will be provided dash cards indicating the dates of the visit. When
large groups are visiting the campus for events such as orientation, athletic
and other camps, it is the responsibility of the sponsoring organization to
secure and distribute dash cards. The policy will not be enforced at athletic
and other public events where the general public is invited and encouraged to
attend. An occasional student guest will not be required to have a visitor hang
tag as long as a student who has a current student I.D. card accompanies the
guest.
The UWA Physical Plant Department will issue frequent visitor
decals at Moon Hall, weekdays, from 8:00 a.m., to 5:00 p.m. Dash cards will be
issued by the UWA Police Department and will be available in the Campus Police
Office located in the Armory. Questions regarding frequent visitors or dash
cards should be referred to Chief Jeff Hood of the UWA Campus Police Department.
