Barring People from Campus Policy

Property owned, controlled, or leased by the university is private property, and as such, reserves the right to determine who can and cannot access, use, or be present therein.

If a non-university affiliate violates, or is in the commission of violating, university policies or federal, state, or local laws on university-owned, controlled, or leased property, a GW Police Department (“GWPD”) Officer has the discretion to bar the individual from returning to any property owned, controlled, or leased by the university.

Moreover, upon identification, if a GW Community Member is involved in a violation, or the commission of a violation, of any university policies or federal, state, or local laws, and where there is evidence that the continued presence of the individual poses a threat to any person or to the stability of university operations, GWPD has the authority to bar the individual in accordance with the Barring People from Campus Procedures.

Individuals, whether affiliated with the university or not, have the right to appeal the issuance of a Barring Notice. Information on appealing a Barring Notice can be found in the Barring People from Campus Procedures.

Consistent with the Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimination, Anti-Harassment, and Non-Retaliation Policy, the university is committed to the equitable application of this policy and related procedures in a manner that does not discriminate based on the protected characteristics, such as age, color, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital or familial status, national origin (including shared ancestry and ethnic characteristics), pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, and/or other characteristics protected by applicable law). In addition, university officials will apply this policy in a nondiscriminatory manner in making determinations under this policy, including but not limited to university conduct proceedings and/or arrests in response to violations of city ordinances and/or state or local law.
