The University recognizes the health, safety, and benefits of smoke-free air and the special responsibility that the University has to maintain an optimally healthy and safe environment for its faculty, students, staff, and guests, to comply with any local clean indoor air acts, and to make every effort to avoid exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke. Both the State of Arizona and the State of Illinois have "No Smoking" policies for any public area.
In both states, all public buildings within the institution are designated as smoke-free and smoking in a non-designated area is prohibited. Smoking on campus is restricted and is limited to designated areas on campus. The University forbids smokers from congregating near the entrances to campus. Moving of smoking receptacles from their designated locations is not allowed. Violators are subject to disciplinary action.
Smoking restrictions also apply to electronic cigarettes i.e., vaping.
Smoking materials shall not be sold or in any other way distributed under the auspices of Midwestern University.
Contact the Office of Student Services or the Office of Safety and Security for more detailed information about where smoking is or is not permitted.
