Non-Public Areas

The following areas are designated as non-public at UCCS:

• Administrative offices not open to the public or student walk-in access, such as faculty or staff offices without public-facing services.
• Secured UCCS Police Department spaces, including dispatch, holding areas, evidence storage, and restricted administrative offices.
• Maintenance and utility spaces, such as mechanical rooms, electrical panels, service tunnels, and any areas designated as restricted by UCCS Facilities Services.
• Student housing areas, including residence halls and suite/apartment interiors.
• Laboratories and research facilities, particularly those involving restricted access, sensitive data, or hazardous materials.
• Rooms containing sensitive IT infrastructure, including server rooms, network operations centers, telecommunications closets, and workspaces managed by the UCCS Office of Information Technology (OIT).
• Health and counseling centers, such as exam rooms, therapy offices, or other private treatment spaces.
• Any other location that is not open to the public, indicated by restricted signage, badge-only access, keypad entry, or similar physical security controls

Any request for access to these non-public areas must be supported by appropriate legal authority, such as a judicial warrant, subpoena, or court order issued by a federal judge or magistrate. This applies to all individuals, agencies, or entities seeking access to restricted campus spaces.

If any department or employee receives a request to access a non-public area, they must:

1. Immediately notify the UCCS Police Department and the Office of University Counsel.
2. Request and review the legal documentation presented.
3. Do not grant access unless valid legal authority is confirmed.
4. Document the request and response according to established university procedures.
