All Visitors must receive permission as described below before being granted access to a UCB animal facility.

Emergency Evacuation Preparedness Policy

UC Berkeley is committed to promoting the safety and well-being of the entire campus community (students, faculty, staff, volunteers, and visitors). Should an event occur that necessitates the evacuation of a building, the evacuation of a section of campus, or the evacuation of the entire campus, UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff, and volunteers must follow the instructions of emergency personnel and otherwise comply with the procedures defined in this policy.

Acceptable Use of Technology Resources ("Acceptable Use Policy")

In support of the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service, the University of California, Berkeley provides computing, networking, and information resources to the campus community. This policy defines how those resources may be used.

Allocation of Electrical Capacity

This policy describes the process and requirements for allocating available electrical capacity to new capital projects. The campus has a specific amount of electrical capacity available within its existing high voltage infrastructure. Exceeding this capacity will necessitate the construction, well in advance of the need, of additional substations on campus property and added service from the utility supplier. In order to avoid this investment as long as possible, it is essential that the existing capacity be allocated judiciously to support campus priorities.

Conflicts of Interest Arising Out of Consensual Relationships

Because of the potential for actual or apparent conflicts of interest, members of the campus community who enter into a consensual relationship with someone over whom they have supervisory, decision-making, oversight, evaluative, or advisory responsibility (hereafter “individuals in authority”) must take effective steps to remove themselves from professional decisions concerning that individual.

Domain Name System (DNS) Service Policy and Resources

This policy is intended to ensure that the University utilizes limited DNS resources appropriately, that the University’s name and brand is protected, that security and legal risks are mitigated, and that DNS resources are allocated to the campus community appropriately.
