Any individual, whether, student, employee, or visitor, should use caution when traveling to and from campus and respect all pedestrian’s right-of-way to ensure a safe college community.

Additionally, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), any wheelchair, mobility aid, or other power-driven mobility devices, including the aforementioned equipment, may be utilized as medically assistive transport or for the aid of the physically limited or disabled person. These individuals are allowed on public sidewalks and throughout all CFCC’s campus buildings owned and operated by the college.

Alternative transportation devices, including bicycles, are strictly prohibited inside any building, hallway, stairwell, or common area owned or operated by the college, including parking decks. Individuals will be removed from campus and could be legally responsible for any damage to College property. Any student or employee who violates this policy may be referred to the Dean of Student Affairs or Human Resources respectively for disciplinary action. Visitors who violate this policy may be subject to prosecution under the city code of ordinance and/or state law. Continued non-compliance may be subject to trespassing.
