Policy

College equipment and facilities may only be utilized to carry out the mission of the college. No inherent right or privilege exists, by virtue of college employee status, to borrow college equipment or to use college facilities for personal reasons. Only college-sponsored activities directly related to the educational, workforce training, and student development mission of the college are allowed on college property. When services are provided at a college facility, they must be directly related to the mission with student training actually accomplished. Solicitation on college property by outside groups or individuals is prohibited.

Laboratories, facilities, and equipment may be utilized outside of normal class time for approved projects that are directly related to the student’s curriculum or that are for instructional development purposes. Additional requirements regarding use of certain instructional spaces can be found by reviewing the following safety manuals:

Prior approval may be granted in writing by the appropriate Vice President, or designee, for use of such facilities for activities of mutual benefit to the college and the individual. Use of a facility by persons other than an instructor and the students involved in training associated with that facility must receive prior written approval by the appropriate Vice President, or designee.
