The goal of the Department of Public
Safety is to provide a safe, pleasant, and secure
atmosphere in which students, faculty, and
visitors to the campus may engage in their
pursuit of knowledge. Toward obtaining this
goal, the Department provides an officer on
campus 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Each officer is certified as a Police Officer by the
State of Arkansas and has the same duties and
obligations for responding to public concerns,
within our jurisdiction, as any other officer in
the state.
The Department provides additional
services to the campus by enforcing parking and
traffic regulations, providing assistance in
vehicle lock outs and with dead batteries,
delivering emergency messages, and responding
to informational needs.
Motor vehicle operations on campus are
defined by the Campus Parking and Traffic
Committee and are set forth in a brochure
available to all persons on campus or visiting the
campus. The Parking Brochure is available
from the Office of Public Safety and during
registration of students and vehicles. These
regulations are in accordance with campus
requirements and state motor vehicle laws.
All vehicles used on campus must be
currently registered for the academic period in
which they are used. Fines and fees are assessed
by the Cashier’s Office located in the Babin
Business Center. Vehicles being used for only a
short period of time on campus may receive a
temporary parking sticker at the Office of
Student Services
Public Safety. All faculty, staff, and students are
required to register their vehicles. Visitors to
the campus should identify themselves to the

on campus to receive a temporary visitor’s pass.

The Residence Life program at the
University strives to provide more than just a
room in its residence halls. Today’s residence
halls are places where life experiences are
integrated with the total University educational
program. High-speed Internet connections are
available in all residence halls and University
apartments. More information about Internet
access in campus housing can be found on-line
at http://www.uamont.edu/~compserv/
reshall1.htm.
Students spend a great deal of time in their
residence hall. Their experiences in the
residence halls can have a major impact on
academic performance and overall personal
growth. Through hall governments, intramural
sports, educational workshops, and other
activities, the University strives to meet
students’ diverse needs by making the residence
hall a living-learning experience. Resident
Assistants (RA’s) are upperclass students, who
under the direction of the Resident Director
(RD), help residents to adjust to the college
environment and their college life. RA’s are
available as sources of information about the
University and its policies, as community
builders to insure that the hall provides an
atmosphere conducive to study, and to provide
a listening ear to those who just need to talk to
someone. RA’s also strive to get their residents
involved in residence hall and campus community
programs.
