Smoke & Tobacco-Free Policy

To promote the health and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and to reduce involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke, smoking and/or the use of any tobacco products, vapor or e-cigarettes is prohibited within or outside of all facilities and grounds that are owned, leased or operated by the College. This includes use of tobacco products outside of any vehicle. No designated areas will be provided by the College for smoking or the use of tobacco products, vapor or e-cigarettes. Students, faculty, staff and visitors may continue to smoke and/or use tobacco products, vapor or e-cigarettes in their personal vehicles when attending class, working, or visiting any Mid campus location.

Taking into consideration that each and every person benefits from a smoke and tobacco-free college environment, the enforcement of the Policy is equitably placed on all members of the College community. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are expected to cooperate with the Policy and persons that repeatedly disregard the Policy will be subject to disciplinary processes defined under Mid’s Conduct Guidelines.

Students or staff who see an individual smoking or using a tobacco product, outside of their personal vehicle, may respectfully inform them of the policy or may also contact Campus Security. Harrison Campus Security (989) 339-4204;
