(1) College facilities may be rented by noncollege groups in accordance with the college's facilities use policy. When renting college facilities, an individual or organization may be required to post a bond or obtain insurance to protect the college against cost or other liability in accordance with the college's facility use policy. When the college grants permission to use its facilities it is with the express understanding and condition that the individual or organization assumes full responsibility for any loss or damage. Noncollege groups may otherwise use college facilities for expressive activity as identified in this section.

(2) The college designates its common grounds and outdoor spaces as the sole limited public forum area(s) for use by noncollege groups for expressive activities on campus. The public use areas may be scheduled. Scheduled groups have priority of use over unscheduled groups. Nothing in these rules prohibits noncollege groups from engaging in expressive activities at open public meetings, subject to the requirements of RCW 42.30.050.

(3) Noncollege groups that seek to engage in expressive activity in the designated public forum areas are encouraged to provide notice to the safety and security department no later than twenty-four hours prior to the event, along with the following information solely to ensure:

(a) The area is not otherwise scheduled; and

(b) To give the college an opportunity to assess any security needs:

(i) The name, address and telephone number of a contact person for the individual, group, entity, or organization sponsoring the activity;

(ii) The date, time, and requested location of the activity;

(iii) The nature and purpose of the activity; and

(iv) The estimated number of people expected to participate in the activity.

(4) Noncollege groups may use the public forum areas for first amendment activities between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Shoreline Community College is not open to the general public except during these times.
