Effective for Athletic Events
To enhance the safety and security of students, employees, guests, and visitors, Jones College will implement a Clear Bag Policy for athletic events held on campus.
The policy is designed to provide a safer environment for everyone attending Jones College events while helping streamline the entry process.
PERMITTED ITEMS
Guests may bring the following items into designated Jones College events:
- Clear bags no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″
- One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc-style)
- Small clutch or wristlet no larger than 4.5″ x 5.5″
- Diaper bags, stroller bags, and medically necessary bags (may be subject to inspection)
- Blankets and quilts carried separately or folded over the arm (may be subject to inspection)
- Stadium seats and folding chairs, when permitted for the event (may be subject to inspection)
PROHIBITED ITEMS
The following items will not be permitted:
- Regular purses, backpacks, and other non-clear or opaque bags larger than the approved clutch size
- Containers or bottles
- Tobacco products, alcohol, illegal drugs, or weapons of any kind
- Any additional items prohibited by Jones College policy or applicable law
BAG INSPECTION & EVENT SECURITY
All permitted bags and items are subject to inspection upon entry. Guests who arrive with a prohibited bag or item may be asked to return the item to their vehicle before entering the event.
Additional security measures may be implemented for certain events as necessary. Event-specific guidelines will be communicated in advance when possible.
Jones College reserves the right to prohibit any item that may pose a safety concern or interfere with the enjoyment of an event.
