Tobacco-Free Campus

Queens University of Charlotte is committed to providing its students, faculty, staff, vendors, contractors, and visitors with a safe and healthy working and learning environment and recognizes that the use of tobacco products on campus grounds is detrimental to the health and safety of students, staff, faculty, and visitors. Please review our Tobacco-Free Campus policy for more details.

Commencement Security & Support

There will be uniformed officers providing support at various locations on campus during commencement. These officers (representing Queens University PD, Charlotte-Mecklenburg PD, Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, and private security officers) will be stationed at intersections (to route traffic and ensure the safety of pedestrians), in campus parking lots and decks (to direct guests to their assigned parking), and at both the Levine Center and Gambrell to help direct visitors and provide support to our community as needed. Since commencement is a ticketed event, it is not open to the public, so these officers will also help to ensure the security of our graduates and their guests. If you have any questions regarding event security, please contact Chief Finney (QUPD) (finneyl2@queens.edu, 704-337-2476).
