Under the ADA and its amendments, an individual has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The ADA also protects individuals who have a record of a substantially limiting impairment or who are regarded as disabled by the College, regardless of whether they currently have a disability. A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity such as hearing, seeing, speaking, breathing, performing manual tasks, walking, or caring for oneself. The Coordinator of Accommodations has been designated as the College’s ADA/504 Coordinator responsible for overseeing efforts to comply with these disability laws, including responding to grievances and conducting investigations of any allegation of noncompliance or discrimination based on disability. Complaints may be made to: Accommodations Coordinator, Garden City Community College, 801 Campus Drive, Garden City, KS 67846. (620) 276-9638 located in Thomas F. Saffel Library. Accommodation request forms are available in the Accommodations Office or on the Accommodations Webpage.
Drug/Alcohol-Free Campus - the College has long recognized that an academic community is harmed in many ways by the abuse of alcohol and the use of other drugs. This high-risk behavior is exemplified by decreased productivity of members of the community, serious health problems, and strained social interactions as well as forms of vandalism. Problems associated with the illicit use and abuse of substances have a pervasive impact upon the academic community and are not associated with a single socioeconomic group or age level. The processes of education and learning are especially impaired by alcohol abuse and the use of illicit drugs. The College subscribes to the basic philosophy of the Network of Colleges and Universities Committed to the Elimination of Drug and Alcohol Abuse:
- The institutional establishment enforces clear policies that promote an educational environment free from the abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
- The institution will provide education for its members for the purpose of preventing alcohol and other drug abuse, as well as educating them about the use of legal drugs in ways that are not harmful to self or others.
- GCCC will create an environment that promotes and reinforces healthy responsible living; respect for community laws; campus standards and regulations; the individual’s responsibility within the community; and the intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, or ethical, and physical well-being of its community members.
- The College will provide a reasonable level of care for alcohol and drug abusers through counseling, referral, and treatment. The foundation of the philosophy concerning alcohol and drug abuse for GCCC is the firm commitment to an educational program which provides adequate information and counseling to help all members of the academic community to make informed and responsible decisions concerning the use of any controlled substance. The College is committed to a healthy environment for learning and living.
Student Peaceful Assembly and Forum - as a public educational institution in Kansas, the buildings, facilities, and grounds of the College are dedicated to education and the fulfillment of the College’s mission to provide high quality instruction and make original contributions to the knowledge and human understanding of its students. The public character of the College does not grant to individuals an unlimited license to engage in activity which limits, interferes with, or otherwise disrupts the normal activities for and to which the College’s buildings, facilities, and grounds are dedicated and said buildings, facilities, and grounds are not available for unrestricted use by groups affiliated with the College or non-College groups. All requests are subject to the approval of the Vice President for Student Services or a designee. Time, place, and manner restrictions are intended to balance the College’s responsibility to fulfill its mission as an educational institution in Kansas with the interests of groups affiliated with the College and non-College groups who are interested in using campus spaces for purposes of constitutionally protected speech, assembly, or expression.
