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 West side of Bldg. 5
Building 8 south plaza Building 12 west plaza
Building 12 SE along planters Building 16 south near air units
Building 14 east plaza Building 20 west (near art display)
Building 20 east plaza  

There is no smoking permitted outside the buildings at the Englewood and Huber Heights Learning Center. Smoking is permitted at the Courseview Campus Center just east of the main entrance indicated by marked ashtrays.

On May 3, 2007 the law enforcement section of the smoking law went into effect. A citation may be issued for the law violation.  We are partnering with Human Resources, Student Judicial Affairs, and the Montgomery County Combined Health District  to assist with the enforcement.

There are 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 the Montgomery County Combined Health District.

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).  The chart above outlines where smoking is permitted by Sinclair Policy.
