Policy:

The primary function of all WSU services and facilities is to support the mission of the university. However, services and facilities may be made available to non-university entities when time, resources, and availability permit, and when there is no financial loss to the university or the state. Instructional and administrative service areas at WSU may extend services to non-university entities under certain circumstances and conditions. The use of WSU buildings and facilities is subject to WSU Policy and Procedure 4.4, University Facilities and Space Use.
