Individuals in a campus building after hours should carry a "Building Use Permit" (BUP), form UW-P-31, issued and signed by the appropriate dean, department head, or designee. Faculty and staff should carry their staff card, which is considered the equivalent of a BUP. (Note: Faculty and staff located in sensitive research areas may be required to carry both a faculty/staff card and a BUP.) BUPs may be issued to students, temporary faculty, and temporary or part-time staff for specific hours and days during a period not to exceed one year. Permits may be renewed on an annual basis.
To obtain "Building Use Permits," campus units other than Health Sciences must complete the "Building Use Permit Agreement Letter". You may FAX the completed form to the Crime Prevention Unit at 206-685-8042. To request Building Use Permits, complete the Service Request Form. Health Sciences units should send the memo to the HS Academic Services and Facilities Office, Box 357175. The BUP request memo must be signed by one of the individuals authorized to issue permits. The Building Use Permit Agreement Letter must be current to receive permits.
1. Fill out the permit completely. Incomplete cards are invalid and will be confiscated by University Police if found in possession inside a building after hours.
2. You may specify the name of the building and a specific area an individual is authorized to be in (i.e., a person authorized in a laboratory may not be authorized to be in an adjoining office).
3. Specify the specific day, month, and year of the expiration date--no more than one year from the date of issue. Permits with indefinite dates will be confiscated.
4. List key numbers on the back of the card. If the individual is not authorized to have keys, the block should be marked accordingly. Unauthorized keys will be confiscated by University Police if found on an individual after hours.
5. Make no erasures or corrections on the "Building Use Permit." If a mistake is made, void the permit and fill out a new one because it is hard to determine whether a correction is legitimate or intentional fraud. Cards that appear to have been altered will be confiscated.
6. Keep a record of all building permits issued by the department. Record the permit card number, name of the individual to whom issued, expiration date, and the employee/student status of the holder.
