It shall be the policy of Highline College, consistent with its efforts to promote wellness, fitness, and a campus environment conducive to work, study, and activities for staff, students, and the public to maintain a smoke/tobacco free indoor campus environment. Use of tobacco products is permitted on campus outside of the buildings. Receptacles for smoking materials are provided and all are urged to use them to maintain litter free campus grounds.

The college recognizes the rights of those who choose to use tobacco and as such does not prohibit the use of tobacco products; it does, however, restrict the use of these materials to areas outside college facilities and vehicles.

(1) Carrying, exhibiting, displaying, or drawing of any weapon is prohibited. Such weapons may include, but are not limited to, firearms, daggers, swords, knives (with larger than a three-inch blade), or any cutting or stabbing instrument, club, or any other weapons, including fake weapons capable of producing bodily harm, emotional distress, and/or property damage.

(2) Explosives, incendiary devices, or any weapons facsimiles are prohibited on college property or in college facilities.

(3) This prohibition shall not apply to equipment or material that is owned, used, or maintained by the college, nor will it apply to law enforcement officers or authorized contractors performing work for the college. Any person who desires to bring a weapon on college property must seek and receive prior written approval from the vice president of administration or his or her designee.
