Tobacco Policy

The College recognizes the need to create and maintain an environmental quality that sustains and enhances the general health and well-being of its students, faculty, staff and visitors. Marietta College has developed a tobacco and smoke-free policy for all academic, administrative, and campus service buildings, athletic facilities, offices, residence halls, apartments and Greek houses. Tobacco use must take place at least 20 feet from all College buildings. For the purpose of this policy, “tobacco” is defined to include any lit cigarette, cigar, pipe, bidi, clove cigarette, e-cigarette, vapes, other smoking products or any alternative smoking devices; and smokeless or spit tobacco, also known as dip, chew, snuff or snus, in any form.

Students that are found to be using tobacco products in their residence hall room, suite, or apartment will be subject to additional cleaning charges of up to $500 per resident each time the issue is discovered.
