The Community College of Rhode Island prohibits smoking in all of its campus facilities
as well as at all points of access and egress from its facilities, including all connecting
ramps and walkways such as those at the Knight Campus megastructure. Smoking is allowed
at or beyond designated enclosures located at each campus or at a distance equal to those enclosures from the building. Smoking includes traditional tobacco products as well as “electronic cigarettes” and similar vaping devices. Failure to comply will result
in disciplinary action as stipulated by the Dean of Students Office for student infractions, and the appropriate disciplinary process as set forth in collective bargaining agreements or Board of Education policy for faculty and staff.
The prohibition within all facilities will not apply to the use of tobacco products as part of a preapproved, limited classroom demonstration or research project.
