Financial obligations of students.
Admission to or registration with the university, conferring of degrees, and issuance of academic transcripts or grade reports may be withheld for failure to meet financial obligations to the university.
Financial obligations of students—Appeal procedure.
Every student has the right to appeal an assessment by the university of a fee, fine, charge, debt, or other financial obligation by filing a written petition with the appropriate dean or nonacademic area director stating the student's reasons for challenging the validity of the assessed obligation. The written petition must be filed not more than thirty days after the notice of assessment was sent to the student. The dean or director, or designee, shall review the university's decision to assess the fee, fine, charge, debt, or other financial obligation in light of the student's petition appealing the assessment and shall render a decision thereon which shall be final.
Alumni records.
Alumni records are not considered to be student records and do not fall within the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The alumni affairs office shall be the office through which the university maintains communication with its alumni, and it shall be responsible for the maintenance of current files covering alumni information. Alumni records and mailing lists maintained by the alumni affairs office shall be confidential property of the university and the alumni association and shall not generally be available to any other agency or casual inquirers.
Firearms, explosives, dangerous chemicals—Restrictions.
No person shall have in his possession any gun, pistol, firearm, explosive, dangerous chemicals, or other dangerous weapons or instruments on university-owned or university-leased property except as follows:
(1) Authorized law enforcement officers shall be permitted to carry arms while on duty and engaged in their regular duties;
(2) Activities requiring use of the prohibited items may be conducted upon approval of the president or his designee;
(3) Persons with firearms in their possession shall be permitted to travel enroute to or from the university-provided firearm storage facilities only.
Violators of this WAC shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary or legal action.
Animals prohibited.
(1) No animals, including dogs and cats, except service dogs, will be allowed, under any circumstances, in any university-operated building.
(2) All dogs on campus shall be under direct physical control, leashed by their owner or custodian.
(3) Dogs not under direct physical control of their owner or custodian, i.e., unleashed or tied and owner or custodian not present, shall be subject to impoundment and their owners subject to fines as determined under city ordinances.
Tobacco use.
In order to provide a healthful environment for Washington state citizens and university employees and students, the use of tobacco products by students, employees, and visitors in any university academic or administrative building is prohibited. This prohibition includes all smoking materials and chewing tobacco.
Tobacco regulations.
(1) The act(s) of smoking or chewing tobacco shall not be permitted inside any Central Washington University administrative or academic building or in identified external areas that may affect those people inside the administrative and academic buildings.
(2) Smoking is prohibited within a presumptively reasonable minimum distance of twenty-five feet from entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes of campus buildings where smoking is prohibited so as to ensure that tobacco smoke does not enter the area through entrances, exits, open windows, or other means.
(3) Smoking will be allowed in identified outdoor smoking areas in compliance with chapter 70.160 RCW. Signs will be posted to identify smoke-free buildings and, if a smoking area is designated, the location of that area. Smokers can request a designated area through the office of the vice president for business and financial affairs. The local health officer may exempt designated smoking areas on campus from the twenty-five-foot minimum distance from entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes of campus buildings where smoking is prohibited, upon application by the vice president of business and financial affairs and a finding that the public health and safety will be adequately protected by a lesser distance.
Tobacco use violations.
Violations of tobacco use regulations may result in a one hundred-dollar infraction and will be handled in accordance with RCW 70.160.070.
