Smoke-Free Campus

All buildings on the Morton College campus continue to be designated as non-smoking areas as well as the grounds, parking lots, and College vehicles.

In accordance with the Smoke Free Illinois Act, 410 ILCS 82/1 et seq. (the “Act”), which prohibits smoking in any public place or any place of employment, smoking is prohibited at Morton College. No tobacco products may be sold or given out as complimentary items on Campus.

The purpose of this No Smoking Policy is to provide a healthy, clean, and safe environment for all students, staff, and general public who use College facilities. This policy recognizes that smoking is a matter of individual choice that should not infringe on the rights and desires of other individuals.

Morton College Campus Police Officers may issue citations starting at $50 for first-time offenders, $100 for second-time offenders and $250 for each additional citation. In addition, the College may refer students who violate this Policy to the appropriate Dean for disciplinary procedures pursuant to the Student Handbook. College employees may be subject to discipline pursuant to the policies and procedures applicable to their employment. Violators will be disciplined through regular administrative channels within their division at the College.

Questions or violations should be reported to the Campus Police Office.
