In order to be prohibited from use of College lands and buildings, individuals must be notified in writing of the prohibition by the Vice President of Student Services or his/her designee. Notice may be made personally or by certified mail. Individuals so notified shall be immediately barred subject to the right to request a hearing within three (3) days of the service of notification or within six (6) days of the date of mailing the certified letter. Extension of time will be given to the next business day for any day that occurs on a weekend or a holiday as established by Pueblo Community College.

 

Appeals shall be made by giving a written notice to the office of the President. Hearing on the appeal shall be within seven (7) days from the receipt of the notice of appeal. Neither the individual prohibited nor the College shall be represented at the hearing by legal counsel. The hearing need not conform to the strict rules of legal evidence. In the event that the College President reverses the prohibition, the individual shall be immediately entitled to enter upon College land or property. In the event that the College President affirms the decision, the individual's prohibition shall continue.

 

Prohibitions under this policy shall be for a maximum period of one (1) year. Extensions of any prohibition may only be made by commencing a new notice of prohibition to be served upon the individual. With respect to individuals convicted of criminal acts against the College, its students or employees, the one (1) year shall commence to run at the time the individual is released from incarceration resulting from the conviction.

 

Any violation of such prohibition may result in legal action by Pueblo Community College against the individual, including such criminal charges as may be appropriate under the circumstances, including criminal trespass.

 

 

Restrictive Access

Pueblo Community College provides educational programs for matriculated students and also offers social and cultural programs for students and community members. In order to establish an appropriate educational environment and preserve College property for educational purposes, the College reserves the right to restrict access to lands and facilities that are under the control of PCC.

 

The Vice President of Administration shall oversee the access and usage of facilities and lands for educational and non-instructional purposes related to students and the general public. All activities must be scheduled and authorized and facilities/grounds must be used according to College rules and regulations.

 

No individual(s) shall temporarily or permanently remain overnight on the property owned or used by Pueblo Community College, or dwell on the property owned or used by Pueblo Community College, including but not limited to, in motor vehicles, or in temporary or permanent structures, without the specific prior approval of the Vice President of Administration or his/her designee.

 

Members of the campus community, as well as visitors, are expected to behave in ways that do not interfere with the educational process at Pueblo Community College. PCC prohibits individual behavior that interferes with, disrupts, impairs, or obstructs the processes, procedures, or functions of the College. Failure to comply with this policy could subject the individual to warning, probation, removal from the campus, arrest, barring from the campus, or any other sanctions applicable under the Student Code of Conduct, College Personnel Policies, or state or federal laws. The Vice President of Administration or his/her designee will initiate actions to be taken under this policy.

 

Contested administrative action may be appealed in writing to the College President within three (3) working days from the date action is taken by the Vice President of Administration. The decision of the College President will be final.
