Individuals who violate the local and/or municipal and/or county ordinances and/or State laws (NRS) are subject to fines; individuals who violate this policy are subject to discipline under UNLV and NSHE policies. 

Policy Enforcement

Policy enforcement is a collaborative effort by those departments which normally have responsibility for the health, safety, and security of all those who come on, or in, UNLV owned or leased property and facilities. As such, these departments, as well as wheeled conveyance operators can promote and encourage the safe use of these devices to ensure the campus community remains safe. In addition, the use of incentives may be used to further promote this policy and provide a source of positive reinforcement to enhance the safety culture at UNLV.

In the event there are serious violations of this policy which result in accidents, injuries and/or property damage, students may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and faculty/staff members referred to their respective Deans/Vice Presidents, directors, or department heads for appropriate disciplinary measures. Appropriate disciplinary measures may include the restriction of wheeled conveyance use on any UNLV owned or leased facility location. UNLV also reserves the right to further limit the use of wheeled conveyances to preserve the safety of the campus community.
