Tobacco Free Campus Policy
REVISED AUGUST 2002

{This document is a reissuance of the Tobacco Free Campus Policy issued in 1993 following implementation of the Division of Housing’s Tobacco Free Policy in August 2002}


No tobacco products may be used in facilities or vehicles of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Use of tobacco products on the grounds of any UNL site is allowed as long as such use is not within close proximity (defined as within 10 feet) of any facility entrance or work site.

As in the past, UNL will attempt to aid persons who wish to stop smoking by providing remedial mechanisms authorized by the University’s benefits program. In addition, cessation classes will be available at times convenient to UNL personnel outside of normal working hours. To find out more about these programs contact the Smoking Cessation Specialist and Wellness Coordinator at 472-7405.

Facilities Management and Landscape Services Departments will coordinate signage reflecting this policy, and tobacco waste receptacle placement.

Noncompliance with these provisions will be managed in accordance with existing human resource guidelines with regard to faculty and staff, and existing Student Affairs guidelines in as far as students are concerned.
