Parking is available in the UNI-CUE parking lot, the city lot North of Sycamore Street and on East 6th Street (meters are not enforced after 5:00 pm).

Parking is permitted at the South end of the building after 5:00 p.m. Because this is a privately leased space, vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense if parked there prior to 5:00 p.m.

Parking is prohibited in restricted locations indicated by "Handicapped Parking" and "University Vehicle Only" signage.  Vehicles parked in these areas will be towed at the owner's expense.

BUILDING ENTRANCE: 

Students may enter the building through the East main door.  Other doors to the building are secured and serve as emergency exits only.

CLASSROOMS: 

Seating may be rearranged during class, but please have students return all furniture to the original setup at the end of class.  Please ask your students to keep the classrooms as neat as possible.

Classrooms are checked regularly to see that white board markers and erasers are provided in each room.  White boards are washed regularly.  A supply of extra markers and erasers is kept at the front desk.

CANCELLATION OF CLASSES:

UNI-CUE staff will not notify faculty or students regarding cancellation of University classes due to severe weather.  The UNI-CUE follows University policy regarding cancellation of classes, university closure, etc.  For information about weather-related reduced operations or the closure of the University, tune in to radio or television stations that have been identified by the Department of University Marketing and Public Relations for this purpose or refer to the UNI home page on the Web.  In addition, the UNI Alert System will notify students, faculty, and staff by cell phone, landline phone, e-mail, and text-message regarding cancellation classes, university closure, etc.

UNI ALERT SYSTEM:

The UNI Alert System notifies the campus community of emergencies and threats to physical safety in emergency situations: tornado, violence, hazardous material incident, cancelled classes, university closure, etc. Notification will be made by cell phone, landline phone, e-mail and text-message.

EMERGENCY SHELTER AREA: 

During severe weather (tornadoes, etc.), all staff and students must go directly to the main hall in the UNI-CUE basement.

By Iowa law, the UNI-CUE is a smoke-free environment.  Smoking will not be permitted anywhere on the UNI-CUE premises, including the parking lots.

Vending machines, water fountain, and restrooms are located on the lower level of the building.  If a vending machine takes money but does not dispense product, contact the UNI-CUE staff at the front desk.
