UAMS police will issue citations to any employees caught smoking on the UAMS campus, including those found smoking in parked vehicles. Patients and visitors caught smoking will be warned that it is illegal to smoke on the UAMS campus.
UAMS police also will send the names of employees violating the smoking policy to the Office of Human Resources for disciplinary action.
UAMS has been a smoke-free campus since 2004. Under the Arkansas Clean Indoor Air Act of 2006,it is illegal to smoke inside state buildings and most public places, including hospitals. The Arkansas Clean Air on Campus Act of 2009 made it illegal to smoke on the campuses of state-supported institutions of higher education, including UAMS. Violators of that law are subject to ticketing and fines between $100 and $500.
UAMS police will issue tickets to those employees who are caught smoking on campus. (See campus map)
UAMS police will send those tickets to the Little Rock District Court's Environmental Division, where a judge will set the fine amount. The fines will be paid to the City of Little Rock. UAMS does not receive any revenue from enforcing this state law.

Parking trades are reviewed individually and approved if determined the trade is fair and equitable to both parties as well as those currently on the waiting lists. Length of both waiting lists are determining factors in approving a parking trade. Please complete the Parking Trade Form and submit to parking@uams.edu for review. If approved both parties must visit the Parking Office together to finalize the trade. Please note both parties must remain employed at UAMS (main campus) for 60 days after trade is finalized or parking trade can be revoked.
