Tobacco-Free College

Georgia Piedmont Technical College has an obligation to provide a healthy work and learning environment. Therefore a tobacco-free policy was established for all facilities of the College. Smoking or the use of any type of tobacco product is only permitted within vehicles parked or driven on designated college parking areas and roads. Persons using tobacco in private vehicles must dispose of the tobacco prior to exiting the vehicle and entering campus grounds. In all other areas, Georgia Piedmont Technical College is designated a tobacco-free campus both indoors and outdoors on all college properties. Violation of this policy may result in sanctions ranging from verbal reminders to dismissal from campus and from employment. This policy pertains to students, faculty, staff, administrators, visitors and the general public attending campus events.
