Elizabethtown College Event Bag Policy
Effective October 26, 2023, select Elizabethtown College campus events that host an external speaker(s) or performer(s) will operate under a Clear Bag Policy which prohibits guests (including Etown students, employees, and campus visitors) from bringing large bags inside venues for events in accordance with event guidelines and security best practices:
To expedite the implementation of this policy we ask that attendees adhere to the following guidelines:
Guests should be prepared to have all hand-carried items open and ready for inspection. Hand-carried items include, but are not limited to, bags and purses that meet the following criteria:
- Each person may have one clear bag no larger than 12”x6”x12” that is constructed of plastic, vinyl, or PVC.
- In addition to or in place of the clear bag, one hand clutch/wristlet/small purse, with or without a handle or strap, and not exceeding 6.5"x4.5" is permitted.
- Elizabethtown College is inclusive and family-friendly, so exceptions for bag sizes are as follows: A medical needs bag and/or a parenting needs bag. These bags are subject to a physical search.
- Visitors from the community will be asked to return non-approved bags or other prohibited items to their vehicle prior to entry. There is no check-in location for prohibited bags.
-
Elizabethtown College students who bring large bags (i.e. backpacks) will follow the Event Space policies and store their items in the assigned areas of the venue.
