smoking Policy
Section 19a-342 of the General Statutes of Connecticut prohibits
smoking in any building or portion of a building owned or leased
and operated by the state or any political subdivision thereof.
Smoking is also prohibited in any vehicle owned or leased by the
state. Any person found guilty of smoking in violation of this
statute shall have committed an infraction. Violations can result in
an infraction being issued by a NVCC Public Safety Department
police officer and a minimum fine of $75.00.
Smoking outside campus buildings is restricted to “Designated
Smoking Areas” and parking lots marked by signs to alert students,
faculty, staff and campus visitors to the policy. Those areas so
designated include only the following:
Gazebo Shelters on the Main Campus
• Near the south entrance to Kinney Hall
• Outside Ekstrom Hall parking garage along parking lot D
• Outside the west entrance to Founders Hall
Outside on the main campus
• Parking lot C
• Parking lot D
• Parking lot E
• Parking lot F
• Level 3 of the Plaza – south side of Fine Arts Center
Building only as designated by signs and striping
• Outside the west entrance to the Fine Arts Center on the
Plaza under the overhang
• Under the overhang of the area leading to the boiler
room of the Core building on the ground level.
2 and 12 Crosby Street, Danbury – Danbury Center
• Rear Parking lot
Violations (except in buildings) are not considered punitive according
to present law and, therefore, are not subject to an infraction
being issued by a NVCC Public Safety Department police
officer. However, violations will be dealt with as workplace or
student discipline matters. Compliance will be monitored by
Public Safety, employee supervisors and student services staff.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to direct smokers to
the designated smoking areas and to report persistent violators to
the appropriate authority.
usE of cEllulAr PHonEs Policy
Students are hereby notified that cellular phones and beepers are
allowed in class only if they are turned off or turned to a silent
mode. Under no circumstances are telephones to be answered
in class. Students who ignore this policy may be asked to leave
class. When there are extenuating circumstances that require that a
student be available by phone or beeper, the student should speak
to the instructor prior to class, so that together they can arrive at
an agreement concerning the device.
