Smoking on Campus

Sinclair Community College has created designated smoking locations to comply with Ohio state law.  Below are the approved smoking locations at the downtown campus.

Building 7 north terrace area Building 7 south entrance
Center plaza area Building 8 south plaza
Building 12 west plaza Building 12 SE along planters
Building 14 east plaza Building 16 south near air units
Building 20 east plaza Building 20 west (near art display)

There is no smoking permitted outside the buildings at the Englewood, Huber Heights and Preble County Learning Centers. Smoking is permitted at the Courseview Campus Center just west of the main entrance.

A citation may be issued for smoking violations.  Sinclair Police, in partnership with Human Resources, Student Judicial Affairs, and Public Health - Montgomery County work together to enforce three types of violations:

ORC Code 3794.05  - Ohio Smoking Ban which states a person must be more than 10 feet from an entrance.  This offense may result in a citation in the amount of $100 payable to Public Health - Montgomery County .

ORC Code 3791.031 - Prohibits smoking inside all buildings on campus.  A violation of this offense is a minor misdemeanor.  Citations will be issued and will be forwarded to the Dayton Municipal Court. 

Violations of the Sinclair smoking policies outside the scope of the state law will result in the person being referred to the respective department in charge of disciplinary actions. (Student Services or Human Resources).
