Use of Facilities

The property, buildings, or facilities owned or controlled by the University are not open for assembly, speech, or other activities as are the public streets, sidewalks, and parks. The responsibility of the UT System Board of Regents and UT Permian Basin to operate and maintain an effective and efficient system of institutions of higher education requires that the time, place and manner of assembly, speech, and other activities on the grounds and in the buildings and facilities of the University be regulated. No person, organization, group, association, or corporation may use property or building owned or controlled by the University for any purpose other than in the course of the regular programs or activities related to the role and mission of the University, as permitted by the Regent's Rule 80101 and UT Permian Basin rules and regulations.

Most campus buildings and facilities are accessible to members of the campus community and their guests and visitors during normal business hours. Students have access to the buildings during scheduled class sessions including laboratory, library study, and research periods. After normal business hours, including weekends and holidays, all campus buildings are considered closed and secured. Late doors are equipped with electronic locks and closed circuit television cameras. This electronic access control system can allow access to those authorized entry and assigned a code for the system. Exterior building doors on campus are equipped with an electronic alarm, which enunciates at the alarm monitoring company during prohibited hours.
