Smoking, Open Carry, and Campus Carry Policies

Smoking and the use of all tobacco products is only allowed in designated smoking-permitted areas.

Pursuant to the law, open carry is not permitted by a license holder on the premises of an institution of higher education.

A law passed by the 84th Texas Legislature and effective August 1, 2016, changes the approach to carrying a concealed handgun on higher education campuses in Texas. The law is often referred to as “campus carry,” but it is officially Texas Senate Bill 11: Carrying of Handguns by License Holders on Certain Campuses. Texas statutes prohibits concealed carry on the premises where any UIL sanctioned competition is being held. Buildings where concealed carry is normally permitted but will be used for UIL competitions will have portable 30.06 signs placed at the entrances. For more information visit ASU’s website on campus carry Angelo State University and Campus Carry.

Supplies and Souvenirs

The ASU Bookstore, located in the Houston Harte University Center, will be open Friday from 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. School supplies, books, T-shirts, souvenirs, and gifts are among the items available for sale. The Bookstore will be open Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

Verification, Awards, State Meet Information

Students, their coaches, and/or other school officials are urged to attend all verification periods and awards meetings. Regional meet directors are under no obligation to contact winners who fail to attend awards meetings with results. Information regarding the UIL Academic State Meet is posted on the UIL web site at https://www.uiltexas.org/academics/state. Information packets will not be mailed to schools or handed out during the regional meet verification meetings or awards ceremonies except for One-Act Play and L-D debate. Coaches and contestants must go to the UIL web site for the State Meet tentative schedule, UT campus map, UT parking, and other vital State Meet information. Responsibility for knowing times, dates, and sites of State Meet events rests solely with coaches and contestants. Second place regional teams should also look for the list of wild card qualifiers.

Withdrawals and Tardiness

A school that withdraws a student from a Regional Meet is responsible for notifying the appropriate alternate and the Regional Director. Refunds of entry fees for withdrawals will not be made. A list of absent contestants will be reported to the State UIL office from each academic event. It is vitally important that you notify the Regional Director in advance if a contestant will be unable to attend the regional competition.
