The FIDM campus is a smoke-free environment. Smoking includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, smokeless tobacco, nicotine, nicotine-delivering devices, chemicals or devices that produce the same flavor or physical effect of nicotine substances; and any other tobacco innovation. Information on substance abuse programs, prevention awareness, and all other counseling services is available upon request and in the Annual Safety and Security Report on FIDM's website at fidm.edu en/about/policies+disclosures/general+information/

CAMPUS SAFETY & ACCESS

FIDM is committed to the safety of its students, faculty, and staff. Students are prohibited from bringing firearms, hoverboards, electronic skateboards, and any other motorized board or vehicle onto the FIDM campus. Illegal weapons or threatening gestures with an object that can be used as a weapon will lead to immediate dismissal. Students are required to wear their valid FIDM Student Photo Identification cards where visible while on FIDM premises. FIDM Student Photo ID cards may not be altered, copied, or forged and are non-transferable. If a student is discovered loaning or altering a FIDM Student Photo ID card, that card will be confiscated and the student will face a mandatory appointment with the Dean of Education.

Campus access is restricted to posted hours of operation. Only registered students are permitted in the classroom. Authorized guests/visitors are allowed on campus with prior approval and notification to Security from FIDM Staff for college business purposes (i.e., guest presenter, authorized vendor, campus meeting, etc.). All authorized visitors are required to check-in with the Security desk to obtain a guest/visitor pass. Students and faculty are not permitted to bring family, friends, or business acquaintances on campus.

CONDUCT

FIDM is committed to a collegiate environment in which respect for others and proper conduct is demonstrated. Hateful language, including profanity, racial, gender, or religious slurs is contrary to FIDM policy, may be a violation of state and/or federal laws and is in direct opposition to a positive education environment. FIDM promotes a professional environment free from hostility and does not tolerate harassing, bullying, intimidating, or threatening behavior or communication. Any violation will result in disciplinary action including suspension of services, and/or privileges, or dismissal. Students must conduct themselves in a mature and professional manner on and off campus in the following scenarios: in the classroom; on campus using online or offline platforms to complete FIDM coursework; participating in a college-endorsed internship program; participating in college related activities; and in FIDM non-campus housing. Eating and drinking are not permitted in FIDM's classrooms, computer labs, halls, Library, or elevators. Excessive talking, rudeness, or

class disruptions will not be tolerated. Electronic devices (MP3 players, cell phones, etc.) are considered disruptive and must be turned off during class time and in any environment in which other students are studying, researching, or gathering for educational purposes, unless permitted by an instructor or designated staff member. In addition, FIDM respects the student's right to individual expression through dress and appearance; however, we ask that they exercise discretion in regard to their choices to reflect a professional college student that does not cause undue attention or interfere with the educational process.

DEFACING FIDM PROPERTY

Any student who defaces, vandalizes, or destroys FIDM property (including but not limited to library materials, computers, elevators, restrooms, parking structure, etc.) will be dismissed from the college. All types of spray mount adhesive and spray paint are prohibited from being used on the FIDM campus.

HARASSMENT & DISCRIMINATION

FIDM is committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for members of the campus community that is free from all forms of unlawful discrimination, harassment, exploitation or intimidation. FIDM prohibits unlawful harassment or discrimination based on race, religion, color, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status or any other characteristics or condition protected by federal, state or local law. Conduct of the type that is prohibited may not rise to the level of a violation of law, but is still a violation of FIDM policy. Violation of this policy will result in appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including disqualification from school.

Prohibited conduct includes any verbal, physical or visual conduct based on sex, race, age, national origin, disability or any other legally protected basis. Examples include: inappropriate remarks, jokes, posters or cartoons, any unwelcome touching or physical contact, slurs, derogatory remarks and/or stereotypes. If a member of the campus community believes they are a victim of prohibited discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, they may file a complaint with their Department Chairperson or the Office of Human Resources. FIDM will take immediate action to investigate if the incident has occurred. If so determined, the College will eliminate the discrimination, prevent its recurrence, offer remedies that address its effects and cooperate with any criminal investigation, separate from the College investigation.

SOLICITATION / DISTRIBUTION

The solicitation and distribution to students of nonFIDM materials and the use of the college facility for non-FIDM business purposes is prohibited. Posting flyers, pamphlets, posters, or other means of advertising on the walls or bulletin boards is not allowed.
