RSCCD Smoking Policy
District Policy
Why is Santa Ana College a smoke-free campus? At
the request of student government leaders, faculty and staff, Santa Ana College became smoke-free effective February 9, 2009. This
smoke-free initiative protects students, employees and visitors to the
risks of first and second-hand smoke. Because of tobacco's status as
the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., many colleges and
universities are already smoke and tobacco-free.
Where am I allowed to smoke? Smoking is allowed in parking lots 1-13.
Can I smoke in my car?
Yes, as long as it's parked in lots 1-13.
How is the smoke-free initiative enforced?
All
smokers are expected to voluntarily comply. Enforcement depends on the
cooperation of college employees and public safety officers who observe
possible violations. These violations will be handled through
already-established discipline procedures based on the Rancho Santiago
Community College District Board approved Student Code of Conduct.
Does the smoke-free initiative apply to visitors too?
Yes,
it applies to everyone who comes to the SAC campus. Visitors will be
notified of the smoke-free initiative through signs posted in parking
lots and on buildings throughout the campus.
Are smoking cessation programs and other resources available?
Yes. Student
health fees cover visits to the SAC Health and Wellness Center (located
in JSC-110), where information about referrals to community resources is
available.
