Animals on Campus - Use of Service Animals

The college acknowledges the right of students, staff, and visitors to a safe and healthy environment while on college property or while participating in college-sponsored functions. In the interest of maintaining such an environment, animals are not permitted on college property or at college-sponsored functions.

The college acknowledges the right of persons with disabilities to utilize service animals as appropriate. Dogs certified to assist persons with disabilities are exempt from the college's animal prohibition. The college maintains a list of service dog owner responsibilities related to grooming, sanitation, and control of service animals. This list may be picked up from the college's equity coordinator or coordinator of disability support services.

When the use of a certified service animal poses a documented danger or health hazard to others, the service animal will not be used and the college's equity coordinator and/or coordinator of disability support services will mediate. Provisions will be made, as necessary, to ensure that the needs previously met by the use of a certified service animal are accommodated.

Building and Equipment Repairs

In each college division or department, an employee is designated as the contact person responsible for reporting problems and requesting necessary modifications and repairs. Minor building and equipment repairs or additional required services may be taken care of by the Maintenance and Operations Department. The designated person must fill out a Maintenance and Operations Work Order. Forms may be obtained from the campus intranet (GCCCNET), on any networked campus computer. Forms should be completed and submitted to Maintenance and Operations.

Emergency maintenance problems such as elevator repairs, leaks, building repairs, etc., should be immediately reported to maintenance and operations or the evening administrator. Telephone repairs or required services should be requested through Information Technology Services.
