Policies and Procedures
Commons and University Center Operations manages space associated with two facilities: E.H. Hereford University Center (UC), UT Arlington’s traditional union-type facility; and Commons, which focuses primarily on dining services with some additional event space available to the University community. The Director for Commons and University Center Operations maintains day-to-day authority. Commons and UC provide services for all members of the University community: students, staff, faculty, and alumni in addition to contracting with some external guests for event purposes. This document, and the policies and procedures outlined herein, is intended to focus on event planning and facilitation services, oversight and management of the two facilities, and general guidelines for Commons and University Center Operations.
