intent of this policy is to protect the rights of the nonsmoking community to breathe
smoke-free air and to reduce the health risks associated with tobacco.
Smoking is prohibited on all property owned or operated by the College, including but
not limited to all College buildings and vehicles, except:
1. Areas designated as smoking areas;
2. Private vehicles; and
3. Areas of at least 25 feet from the entrance to any College buildings.
Smoking is defined as the use of tobacco products which produce smoke or vapor
emissions, including electronic cigarettes and any lighted cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or
other lighted smoking equipment.
Tobacco is defined as all tobacco and alternative nicotine products, including but not
limited to the use of products which produce smoke or vapor emissions, including
electronic cigarettes, any lighted cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookah pipes, or other
lighted smoking equipment.
Products used for cessation of tobacco use approved by the U.S. Drug and Food
Administration, including alternative nicotine products, such as nicotine patches or
medication, shall be allowed on College property as long as the product does not
produce smoke or vapor emissions.
Compliance with this policy shall be the responsibility of all employees, students, and
visitors.
Solicitation & Fundraising
Unauthorized soliciting by or to students is prohibited. Any attempt to sell or contact
to sell to any student, employee, or guest of the College, while on campus premises,
shall be considered unauthorized without express permission from the Vice President
of Student Services. No commercial commodities may be sold on campus by any
individual or group, except through regularly approved distribution channels. Any
funds collected through the student organizations must be deposited and dispensed
through the WNCC Business Office.
The name of the College shall not be used by students or student groups for commercial
or promotional purposes without approval of the Vice President of Student Services.
Student Leave of Absence for Military Duty
A student responding to a lawful deployment order through a branch of the United States
armed forces may avail himself or herself of specified course alterations or modifications
by requesting a Military Leave of Absence (MLOA) through his/her instructor. Military
leave policy relates to students who are registered for classes at WNCC, whether by
face-to-face or distance learning instructional delivery. The purpose of the MLOA is
to ensure equality of opportunity for success to students who are called to military
service. Students are still expected to fulfill the learning requirements of a course,
but they should not be penalized for circumstances beyond their control. A copy of
the full Policy and Procedures can be obtained from the Student Services Office or at
wncc.edu/militaryveterans
.
Student’s Right to Know and Campus Security Act
In compliance with federal regulations, WNCC annually compiles reports that indicate
the College’s graduation rates and the institution’s current security program and crime
statistics.
