¶¶ÒõMAX

¶¶ÒõMAX welcomes guests and visitors while maintaining the safety and comfort of our campus community. All guests and visitors must comply with college policies and local, state, and federal laws while on campus.

Definitions

• Guest:  A guest is an individual invited to campus by a student or other member of the ¶¶ÒõMAX community. Guests are required to remain under the direct supervision of their host for the duration of their visit.
• Visitor: A visitor is an individual who comes to campus for business or personal reasons without a specific host, such as attending events or meetings. Visitors are responsible for their adherence to campus policies.

Visitor/Contractor Check-in Process

1. When visitors arrive at the gate, they must have a valid driver’s license or other approved government ID. The visitor’s ID will be scanned into the Raptor system, and a visitor badge will be printed for them to wear throughout their visit. The badge will include their name, photo, and campus destination. All vehicle passengers will be required to present their identification.
2. Visitors to West Campus should be directed to check in at one of the main campus gates before proceeding to their destination. We value and welcome our community partners to campus, and we realize that many of their meetings with faculty and staff will be held on West Campus.  When you invite community partners to ¶¶ÒõMAX, especially if you are on West Campus, please inform them of the need to check in at one of the main campus gates.  This practice will help ensure their safety while on campus.
3. Initially, you may want to advise visitors to arrive a few minutes early for appointments to allow time for checking their credentials and printing their visitor badge. This process will speed up as we become more familiar with the new system and procedure.

Check-In Process for Large Events—The check-in process will be the same unless the visitor has been pre-registered.  Registrations for events with large numbers of external guests can be created through Formsite by contacting the College Events Office.    

1. Access will be granted to pre-registered event guest(s) who have received and are displaying their special event parking pass or emailed event pass.  Upon displaying the designated parking or event pass, the guest(s) can bypass the Raptor sign-in.
2. At least 48 hours before the event, the event organizer should provide the Campus Safety Office with a copy of the special parking pass or event pass.  Providing a copy of the parking pass in advance will allow guest(s) to pass through the gates more swiftly.  Unregistered guests will go through the regular visitor check-in process. 
3. The parking pass or event pass should include the date(s) of the event.
4. At least 48 hours before the event, the event organizer should provide the Campus Safety Office with a list of registered attendees.
5. A copy of the parking or event pass and the attendee list can be emailed to security@rhodes.edu
