Visitors and Minors on Campus


The College welcomes visitors to campus. All visitors must comply with the College’s policies and procedures. Additionally, in the interest of safety, and to minimize disruption to classes and operations, all visitors shall adhere to the following rules:

  1. Visitors should have a legitimate reason to be on campus, including the following: an orientation by an escort to learn about the campus and college programs, attending an official college program or event, visiting the bookstore, using the library, using daycare, using the dental clinic, using automotive repair services, using cosmetology services, using horticulture services, visiting the Scott Family Collection, participating in a culinary event, buying food from the snack bar in the commons area or the Culinary Department, making deliveries of goods and/or services ordered by ACC, or attending announced public meetings, functions, or seminars. Those without a legitimate reason are prohibited from being on campus or using College facilities, including parking lots and common areas.
  2. All visitors to instructional areas must have the instructor’s prior approval. Visitors unfamiliar with the campus should report to the College’s information center. The appropriate administrative officer or Department Head must approve visitors to a classroom.
  3. All visitors to laboratories, shops, or other potentially hazardous areas must be escorted by a College employee. The appropriate administrative officer or Department Head must approve visitors to a classroom.
  4. The College reserves the right to reasonably regulate visitors’ access to certain areas of the campus.

II. MINOR CHILDREN

  1. Minor children are defined as children under the age of 18. This policy does not apply to Career & College Promise, Early College High School, or Career Accelerator Program students who are under the age of 18.
  2. Students and College employees are encouraged to make child care arrangements to reduce interruption of the educational process and avoid possible injury to a minor. Supervisors are responsible and accountable for ensuring that minor children on campus adhere to College policies and procedures. Should employees require time to resolve their childcare situation, they are required to leave work and use the appropriate leave.
  3. Minor children are allowed in offices on the campus for short, occasional visitations, when accompanied by a responsible adult. In addition, instructors have the discretion to make infrequent exceptions regarding the care of minor children due to temporary, unforeseen emergencies. In these cases, minor children must remain in the classroom under their parent/ guardian’s direct supervision and are not allowed to sit in the hallway or be unsupervised in other locations on campus.
  4. Minor children are not allowed on campus when the child has a contagious condition or is too ill to be sent to the regular childcare location or school.
  5. Minor children may not enter shops, labs, or other hazardous areas unless accompanied by an instructor or other adult.
