Campus Bulletins

From Monday, September 02, 2024, Campus Security Services will step up its enforcement of the No Thoroughfare Zone Policy, to achieve greater control and monitoring of persons and vehicles entering the Campus, and to enhance the level of safety and security for the Campus Community.

The UWI St. Augustine Campus was designated a ‘No Thoroughfare Zone’ in 2016. On Mondays to Fridays, except on public holidays, only authorised vehicles (those displaying valid UWI Vehicle Permits) are allowed to enter the campus via the North and South Entrances. Unauthorised vehicles (those without valid UWI Vehicle Permits) will be redirected to the Visitors’ Entrance, which is the Daaga Gate, where persons will be more rigorously screened before being allowed to proceed onto the Campus.
