The Vehicle Use Policy of William & Mary includes vehicle use at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS).  The text below specifies minor differences that are appropriate for implementation of this policy at VIMS. 

For the purposes of the Vehicle Use Policy, graduate students at VIMS are considered to be employees.

In section III A 16, at VIMS, vehicle users must complete the training program administered by the Marine Operations Department before being authorized to tow any trailer.

In section VI B, at VIMS, auto accidents must be reported to the driver’s immediate supervisor, the department or center head, Facilities Management, and VIMS Risk Manager.  This is in addition to reporting the incident to the State Police.

Also refer to VIMS Policy and Procedure Document 0404, Collisions and Incidents Involving State Vehicles. 

Questions about the general W&M policy should be referred to the Risk Manager on the Williamsburg campus.
