Requesting Facilities Access

In order to request access to one of the animal facilities, the following steps must be taken.

  1. The individual must complete the Facility Access Request Form (PDF). Please ensure that all applicable fields are completed. Forms may be faxed to (210) 458-6087 or emailed to larc@utsa.edu. Even forms sent electronically will require the PI’s signature.
    NOTE: Incomplete forms will not be processed.
  2. Prior to granting access, it will be verified that the individual has completed all of the required training and is listed on a currently approved protocol.
  3. Once access is granted, the individual will be contacted via email and their assigned PIN code to access the restricted areas will be provided.

Visitors are identified as UTSA personnel not currently listed on an approved IACUC protocol (i.e. student observers) or non-UTSA personnel, which may include research professionals, visiting faculty or faculty candidates, vendors, tour groups and technical personnel servicing or demonstrating the proper use of research related equipment.
