On January 21, 2009, Nicolet College became a tobacco-free campus. The use of tobacco products is prohibited on campus property, including in vehicles on campus property. For the spring 2009 and summer 2009 semesters, the emphasis will be on communication of the policy and educating students about the policy.
Tobacco cessation programs and resources are available for students through:
Students violating this policy will be given a verbal warning and referred to meet with the Student Life Coordinator or the designated representative of the Director of Admissions. The student will be referred to services and resources as appropriate. A second offense will result in a mandatory meeting with the Dean of Instruction/Campus Security, a written minor warning, and a formal referral to campus counseling services and/or to community resources. A third offense will result in a written major warning, a $15 fine, or the student may elect to engage in two hours of community service. The community service activity must be approved by the Dean of Instruction/Campus Security or his or her designee. Successful completion of the community service activity must be documented, signed by an authorized individual supervising the community service activity, and submitted to the Dean of Instruction/Campus Security. Failure to pay all associated fines or failure to successfully complete the required community service hours will result in a meeting with the Vice President of College Services and a "hold for indebtedness" being placed on the student's record and the student will not be allowed to register for future classes until the hold is cleared.
