Tobacco Use
Texas Chiropractic College is concerned about the health and well-being of its students, employees and visitors, as well as maintaining a comfortable environment. Therefore, the College has adopted a “Tobacco-Free Environment” thus prohibiting tobacco usage in any form on campus. Smoking on campus is considered a violation of the student code of conduct. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disciplinary action.
Weapons on Campus
All members of the TCC community, including faculty, staff, students, contractors and visitors are prohibited from possessing firearms, explosives, other dangerous weapons and replicas of dangerous weapons (as described in this policy) while on TCC property, in buildings where a TCC-sponsored activity is held or within or in TCC’s vehicles. This prohibition against weapons possession is in effect to the fullest extent allowed under Texas laws, including laws pertaining to weapons generally (Texas Penal Code § 46.03) and to concealed handgun licenses (Texas Penal Code § 46.035). The only exceptions to this weapons prohibition are those authorized in writing by the TCC President and Cabinet.
