Drones

East Texas A&M has established requirements regarding the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) on campus property or by employees in their professional capacity.

In light of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and the growing commercial use of UAS, East Texas A&M must ensure that it maintains oversight and communicates the necessary guidelines to faculty, staff, students, contractors, visitors, and third-party vendors when operating UAS and model aircraft on university property or during work-related activities.

For East Texas A&M students, faculty and staff seeking further information on UAS, commonly known as drones, please refer to The Texas A&M University System regulation linked below, as well as the UAS application for the assessment and approval of all operations, including those for recreational or commercial purposes:
