Policies & Procedures
Policy: 5001
The Board recognizes the College and its buildings, facilities, and grounds (“facilities”) exist to serve the community, as well as the students. Accordingly, the Board encourages full and appropriate utilization of campus facilities by students, faculty, staff, and community organizations for educational, athletic, cultural, community, and recreational purposes.
The College reserves the right to deny the use of its facilities to organizations engaged in political activities, profit-making ventures, religious ceremonies, or other similar activities. Organizations requesting facilities for social, cultural, or recreational purposes will not be permitted use of the facilities if they deny admission to the general public and/or the College community. Use of College facilities by commercial profit-making organizations will be limited to educational, cultural, and/or civic purposes.
The use of any campus facilities is dependent on the needs of the College and the availability of space and related services for the scheduled time period. Priority for facility use will be given in the following order:
- College credit-generating activities;
- College non-credit and lifelong learning activities;
- Other College sponsored or College-related activities, including RCSJ Foundation-related activities;
- County agencies, or other county-related non-profit organizations in support of the RCSJ student population;
- Other non-profit or governmental organizations; then
- Other organizations, such as 501(c)(3), as appropriate to and consistent with the mission of the College.
In all cases of facilities use, the College reserves the right to assign such additional personnel; e.g., custodial, security, as necessary for adequate coverage of facilities and to assess the applicant for the costs involved.
The President will have administrative procedures developed to address access and use of College facilities.
