Permit Request • CampusOptics

The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) is committed to providing a safe environment for both the campus and the outside community. CSN acknowledges that the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) on its property can pose privacy and safety risks, interfere with the institution's educational mission, and disrupt the use and enjoyment of the airspace above the property.

As such, the use of UAVs without proper authorization is prohibited on all CSN campuses, both outdoors and indoors. CSN will authorize UAV launch and landing on its property only under limited circumstances, except as required by law or through the authorization process outlined in this policy. All approved UAV use on CSN property must comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.

The pilot of any UAV will be required to make the proper notification to the FAA before each launch.
