Alcoholic Beverage Policy
The use of alcohol at college functions is inconsistent
with the institution’s endorsement of the Drug-Free
Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public
Law 101-226) and its Drug-Free Campus Policy.
Alcoholic beverages may not be served on the Triton
College premises except for instructional purposes (i.e., hospitality
industry management and/or associated programming).
In these cases, prior approval must be granted in writing
through the supervising academic dean. In the service of
alcoholic beverages for associated instructional purposes, the
following procedures should be strictly followed:
• The serving of alcoholic beverages must be incidental
to and not the primary purpose for the
activity at which alcoholic beverages are served.
Alcoholic beverages may only be served at catered
events and associated with the delivery of a preapproved
instructional program.
• Alcoholic beverages may be served on those portions
of the Triton campus that are used for food
service and convention-type activities. The serving
of alcoholic beverages shall be limited to participants
in educational activities held in such
facilities.
• No person under 21 years of age, nor anyone who is
under the influence of alcohol or dangerous substances
or who is disorderly in conduct, may serve,
consume or dispense alcoholic beverages.
• Supervising faculty must demonstrate that they
can comply responsibly with all the laws and college
regulations pertaining to the use of alcoholic
beverages on campus.
• No alcoholic beverages may be served until the Vice
President of Business Services or designee shall be satisfied
that there exists maximum insurance coverage
limits so as to save harmless Triton College from all
financial loss, damage and harm.
Student Assistance Plan
At Triton College, student success is a primary
concern. Services are provided to assist students both
academically and financially. In cooperation with Perspectives,
students can receive personalized attention
when they need it, quickly and privately.
The Student Assistance Plan will help assess their
problems and concerns. They will be referred for the
appropriate treatment and follow-up will occur to ensure
that the treatment was suitable for the student.
The first step to solving a student’s problems is to contact
a Triton counselor at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3588. Students
should tell the counselor that they are interested in
the Student Assistance Plan. The counselor will connect
them with a staff member of Perspectives who will work
directly with the student. If the Triton Counseling Center
is not open, students may contact the Perspectives directly
at (800) 866-7556. The SAP counselor will assist the student
as quickly as possible.
Clean Indoor Air Policy
Triton College is dedicated to providing a healthy
working environment for all of its students, employees,
and guests.
As of July 1, 1990, the “Illinois Clean Indoor Air
Act” took effect. This law states that “No person shall
smoke in a public place except in that portion of a public
place which may be established and posted.”
In light of these findings, Triton College shall
implement the following changes as of July 1, 2006.
• All buildings on the campus of Triton College
shall be entirely smoke-free.
• There shall be no smoking within 15 feet of any
building entrance.
• The Vice President of Business Service may establish
designated smoking areas as deemed necessary
or for special events providing adequate
ventilation and disposal facilities are available.
• No tobacco products shall be sold on campus.
• All public meetings will be smoke-free.
• Triton College shall offer stop-smoking programs
for those employees who smoke and would like to
quit smoking.
Insurance
As a service, health and accident insurance applications
are available for purchase by all registered students.
This program is administered through the Health Services
Office (Room 112 in the College Center). Students seeking
admission to Nursing and Allied Health programs must
provide proof of valid hospitalization insurance as required
by the program. Student Athletes are required to complete
insurance information forms with the Health Services
Office.
Campus Ministry
The campus ministry members are on campus regularly
and are responsible for providing the following:
1. Educational programming on economic and
social justice issues
2. Pastoral counseling and spiritual direction
3. Information and opportunities for volunteer service
4. Retreat opportunities
5. Listening to the needs of the campus community
The ministry is available to all students, faculty
and staff and is located in the Office of Student Life,
Room 120 in the College Center. The ministry can be
reached at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3598.
Housing
The college does not offer on-campus housing. However,
the Housing Office does maintain a listing of off-campus
housing available to students. This is a listing of rooms,
apartments and homes in the area that have been listed by
community residents, real estate and management companies.
It is the student’s responsibility to arrange appointments
to view potential accommodations. The student will sign a
lease directly with the landlord. This listing is published
monthly in the Housing Opportunities Bulletin.
