On August 1, 2009, Carroll University became a tobacco-free campus. The use of tobacco will no longer be permitted in university buildings, on university grounds or in university-owned vehicles. This change will provide a healthy working and living environment for Carroll’s students, staff, faculty and neighbors.

Tobacco Free Policy

I. Introduction
Scientific findings, as summarized by the United States surgeon general and the Environmental Protection Agency, identify tobacco use as a public health hazard. In light of the health hazard associated with tobacco for users and non-users, Carroll University has adopted a tobacco-free campus policy.

II. Policy
The use of tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco and other tobacco products) is prohibited at all times. All buildings and grounds, including academic, administrative, dining, residential, service and mixed use facilities and all vehicles owned, operated or leased by Carroll University, are entirely tobacco-free. The university will not sell, market or promote tobacco products. The tobacco-free policy applies to all indoor and outdoor air space.

III. Enforcement
All members of the campus community are responsible for enforcing this policy. Anyone who observes a violation of this policy should make the violator aware of the restrictions contained in this policy. Employees or students who observe a violator's refusal to adhere to this policy may report the violator to an appropriate authority. Such authorities may include vice presidents, deans, chairs, directors, managers or Public Safety. Upon receiving a report, the authority shall inform the violator's supervisor (if the violator is an employee) or the Office of Student Affairs (if the violator is a student).
