Department Guest | Prices Vary
The online Guest Permit allows designated department members to log in and proactively issue a permit to an expected visitor via email from anywhere you have internet access. Your visitor simply accepts the Guest Permit, prints it and places it on their dash before coming to campus. When you’re aware of the upcoming visit a day or two beforehand, the online Guest Permit can provide a more seamless experience for your visitor.
If you agree that this sounds like a solution that might benefit you and your department, please take two minutes to fill out the questionnaire. PTS will review your answers and make a recommendation within five (5) business days.
