Smoking Policy

It is the policy of William Rainey Harper College to provide a smoke/tobacco free environment consistent with its efforts to promote wellness and a campus environment conducive to work, study and activities for students, employees and the public.

The College recognizes the rights of those who choose to use tobacco and does not prohibit the use of tobacco products. It does, however, restrict the use of these materials to areas outside College buildings and vehicles. As defined in this policy, tobacco products include cigarettes, cigars, or tobacco in any other form, including smokeless tobacco which is any loose, cut, shredded, ground, powdered, compressed or leaf tobacco that is intended to be placed in the mouth without being smoked.

Violations of this policy will be dealt with in accordance with procedures set forth in the Student Code of Conduct contained in the Student Handbook of Policies and Procedures section and with procedures set forth in the various employee manuals (Agreements).
