Banning Policy

Brigham Young University is a private institution of higher education whose campus is generally open to the public, with some restrictions. The university is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all members of the campus community. In the interest of securing its campus and enforcing its rules and regulations, which it codifies in its policies, the university retains the right to restrict access to university property as it deems appropriate and in accordance with this policy and corresponding procedures.

As a condition to entrance upon BYU property, individuals assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the university’s policies and procedures. Any person may be temporarily or permanently banned and denied access to any property owned, operated, or controlled by the university if the person

  • engages in any of the following actions, or if the university has reasonable cause to believe that the person intends to act, to

    • cause injury to a person;
    • cause damage to property;
    • commit a crime;
    • interfere with the peaceful conduct of the activities of the institution;
    • violate any rule or regulation of the institution if that rule or regulation is not in conflict with state law;
    • disrupt the institution, its pupils, or the institution’s activities;

  • is reckless as to whether the person’s actions will cause fear for the safety of another;
  • is reasonably perceived as a danger to university property, the person’s self, or any member of the campus community; or
  • has no lawful business to pursue at the university.

A decision to ban an individual rests entirely within the discretion of the university, based upon the above-stated factors.

Individuals who are banned will be given a ban notice by oral or written communication. Failure to comply with a ban notice may result in arrest or citation.
