Laramie County Community College (LCCC) prohibits bringing a pet (a domestic animal kept for pleasure or companionship) to work or having a pet in LCCC buildings or on premises, with the exception of service animals for a person with disabilities.

Service Animals

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a service animal is defined as, “any animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals to an impending seizure or protecting individuals during one, and alerting individuals who are hearing impaired to intruders, or pulling a wheelchair and fetching dropped items.”

Titles II and III of the American Disabilities Act (ADA) makes it clear that service animals are allowed in public facilities. A service animal must be allowed to accompany the handler to any place in the building or facility where members of the public, program participants, customers, or clients are allowed.

When a person with a Service Animal enters a public facility or place of public accommodation, the person cannot be asked about the nature or extent of his disability. Only two questions may be asked:

1. Is the animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

These questions should not be asked, however, if the animal’s service tasks are obvious (i.e. guide/seeing eye dog)

Requirements of service animals and their owners include:

• All animals need to be immunized against rabies and other diseases common to that type of animal. All vaccinations must be current.
• Animals must wear a rabies vaccination tag.
• All dogs must be licensed per state law.
• Service animals must wear an owner identification tag (which includes the name and phone number of the owner) at all times.
• Animals must be in good health and pest free.
• Animals must be on a leash, harness or other type of restraint at all times, unless the owner/partner is unable to retain an animal on leash due to a disability.
• The owner must be in full control of the animal at all times. The care and supervision of the animal is solely the responsibility of the owner/partner.
• Employee are responsible for the care of any service animal brought onto Company premises and will be responsible for any property destruction and/or personal injuries caused in whole or in part by the service animal.
• The owner/partner must provide the College with information as to how the animal accommodates for the individual’s disability.

Reasonable behavior is expected from service animals while on LCCC property. The owners of disruptive and aggressive service animals may be asked to remove them from LCCC facilities. If the improper behavior happens repeatedly, the owner may be told not to bring the service animal into any facility until the owner takes significant steps to mitigate the behavior.

Cleanliness of the service animal is mandatory. Consideration of others must be considered when providing maintenance and hygiene of service animals. The owner/partner is expected to clean and dispose of all animal waste.

Students

LCCC Students must contact the Office of Student Accommodation (OSA) Staff (PF 207, X1639/4385, aclubb@lccc.wy.edu or kyarbrough@lccc.wy.edu ) in order for the Service Animal to be allowed in classrooms.

Students approved for Service Animals will be annotated on the Accommodation Services Agreement Form issued by OSA. Any Service Animal that is disruptive in class, is considered the same as a disruptive student, thus faculty can have the student and animal leave the class. The ADA requires the animal to be under the control of the handler using a harness, leash, or other tether. Service Animals “in training” must also gain permission from the OSA Staff prior to being allowed in classrooms.

Other Support/Therapy Animals/Pets

While Emotional Support Animals or Comfort Animals are often used as part of a medical treatment plan as therapy animals, they are not considered service animals under the ADA. These support animals provide companionship, relieve loneliness, and sometimes help with depression, anxiety, and certain phobias, but do not have special training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities and therefore are not covered by federal laws protecting the use of Service Animals. The Fair Housing Act allows Emotional Support Animals in the Residence Living Areas only. These students must contact OSA Staff before permission is allowed.

[Any Animal not serving the role of “Service Animal” or approved “Emotional Support Animal” in the Residence Hall, is not permitted on LCCC’s Campus.]

Employees

Employees requesting accommodation for a disability that includes a service animal must contact the human resource (HR) department and complete a Documentation of Disability form in order for the Service Animal to be allowed in work areas. All employee service animals must be registered with the HR department. HR point of contact is Melissa Dishman at mdisman@Lccc.wy.edu, (307)778-1258.

Employees with any medical condition affected by animals (e.g., respiratory diseases, asthma, severe allergies) should contact human resources so those concerns can be addressed appropriately.

Human Resources must be notified if a service animal is no longer needed. The College may request recertification of the continued need for the service animal.

Visitors

Visitors on campus do not need to contact OSA or HR, but the above questions can still be asked.

The Student Computer Center (SCC) is part of the Integrated Technology Services Division and is located in CR 102. It houses computer stations where you can work, laptop stations with electrical outlets for charging your laptop, charging stations for your phone, laptop, or tablet; also one B/W and one color printer. The color printer can scan, e-mail, and fax. Software for student use is available either the network or the hard drive.
The Support Desk is not responsible for nor required to work on or repair personal computers. We will offer any assistance we can, however, each student is responsible for their own personal computer.

Student Computer Center Policies

The SCC provides computer hardware and software for student use. In order to ensure a smooth operation, these policies have been developed:

1. No formal classes shall be held in the computer center, although instructors may work with students on an individual basis.

2. Persons using the computer center should have a valid student identification card.

3. If there is such a demand for computers that a waiting list develops, the following priorities will hold:

a. Laramie County Community College (LCCC) students doing homework.
b. Other higher education students doing homework.
c. Students checking email.

4. Persons using the computers must provide their own storage devices. Please save all work to your personal storage device as anything saved to the hard drive will be deleted when the computer is reboots. The computers automatically reboot each evening.

5. SCC computers are not to be used for anything that would be inappropriate by LCCC standards. If such material is needed for a class, a letter from the instructor will be required and the SCC facilitator will make arrangements on a case by case basis. Inappropriate use includes, but is not limited to, the following.

a. Material that is profane or obscene (to include pornography).
b. Material that advocates violence or discrimination toward other people (hate literature).
c. Violation of local, state and/or federal laws including, but not limited to, violation of copyrights, intentionally disrupting network traffic or crashing the network and connected systems, stealing data, equipment, software, intellectual property, or vandalizing the data of another user.
d. The deliberate introduction of computer viruses.
e. Annoying, harassing or intentionally offending other computer users. 

Consequences of violating these rules may include loss of SCC privileges and other disciplinary sanctions determined by LCCC authorities.

6. Shutdown procedures will start 10 minutes before closing time.

7. Assistance is available to those unfamiliar with the computers, printers or standard programs.

8. Installation of software on SCC machines or downloading Internet plug-ins to the browsers may cause problems for the other students. Doing this will result in the loss of SCC privileges.

9. The SCC reserves the right to refuse computer usage to anyone who does not abide by the rules listed above or those posted in the center.

Any individuals or organizations interested in advertising on campus must comply with the campus posting procedures, which are available in the Marketing & Communications Office. All materials, not produced by the LCCC Marketing and Communications Office, posted on campus bulletin boards must be approved by the Student Engagement  Office. Postings must be stamped by the Student Engagement Office, or they will be removed. (Instructors’ bulletin boards are exempt.) Individuals and campus organizations are responsible for posting their materials appropriately on the designated bulletin boards. The metal posting strips located throughout the campus are to be used only to promote current, single-event advertisements scheduled within 10 days. Campus postings will be monitored, and inappropriate, improperly posted or outdated materials will be removed.

Off-campus and personal solicitation (anything for sale, rent or trade) is limited to one bulletin board located near the Emporium (do not use scotch tape). Fliers and posters may not be posted on windows, walls, doors, etc. Exceptions to these guidelines and all other advertising must be approved by the Marketing & Communications Office (i.e., wall banners, sidewalk chalk, etc.). Placing fliers on cars is prohibited.

Exceptions are made only for information pertaining to the Ludden Library, emergencies, class cancellations/changes/announcements or summer office hours.

Advertising on campus may not support illegal sales or transactions or promote events that have as their only purpose the consumption of alcohol.

The college neither assumes any responsibility for nor endorses any items or services advertised on campus.

Solicitation shall be considered to be any effort to raise funds, any promotional activity or any effort designed to disseminate information.

It is not within the purpose or philosophy of the college to provide an ongoing outlet for retail or wholesale merchandise except those services provided by the Bookstore and food services.

The Student Lounge and the area immediately adjacent to the Student Lounge are the primary areas designated for direct contact solicitation on campus. Solicitation tables may be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis through the Facilities and Events office. Personal solicitation is not permitted. Vendors and/or solicitors are not allowed to approach students directly. Instead, vendors are required to stay behind their table or booth and wait for students to approach them. Any violation of these rules may result in a solicitor’s inability to return to campus.

Off-Campus Organizations

Off-campus groups wishing to reserve a solicitation table must do so one week prior to the desired dates. A charge for for-profit organizations may be assessed.

On-Campus Organizations

On-campus groups wishing to reserve a solicitation table must do so two days prior to the desired dates. There is no limit on the number of days for which an on-campus organization may reserve a solicitation table.

Fundraisers may be sponsored by officially recognized LCCC groups only. Student groups may sponsor up to four fundraisers per month. Sponsorship of activities, promotions or sales items must include, in clear view, the names of the sponsors. To reserve a table, contact Facilities and Events at 778.1291.

If a bomb threat is received, the campus may be evacuated either partially or fully. Please follow directions and cooperate. If you are contacted by phone or by message that the campus is being evacuated because of a bomb threat, don’t panic, but take the instructions seriously and evacuate cautiously through the nearest exit. Because of the potential for setting off a bomb, don’t use a radio, cell phone or pager, and don’t touch a suspicious object or touch a light switch.

If you need a ride to get off campus, use an LCCC courtesy phone to arrange for someone to pick you up at the LCCC Center for Conferences and Institutes. Do not use your cell phone. The public will be notified by local media that the campus is being affected, and the re-opening of the campus will be announced the same way. Members of the campus community are enrolled in the RAVE alert system. This is an opt-out system. If you do not wish to participate in RAVE and receive these emergency messages, please notify the LCCC Marketing and Communications department (307.778.1603) and ask that your contact information be removed. Your contact information is uploaded daily to RAVE from Colleague. Please periodically go into your personal choices section of MyLCCC and make certain that your cell phone contact information, as well as other contact information, is current. RAVE is the official emergency messaging system for LCCC. Campus closures are also announced by use of the RAVE system.

In the event of an emergency closure, students will receive information via the RAVE alert system. All students may listen to Cheyenne radio or television stations for information regarding the cancellation of classes and other activities.

Campus Safety provides many valuable resources to Laramie County Community College, including a lost and found department. Most items turned into Campus Safety are not unusual. Items that get brought in on a regular basis include ID’s, keys, cell phones, calculators, wallets, purses, clothing, jewelry, notebooks, and thumb drives. When an item gets brought into Campus Safety and no one comes to claim it within 90 days it goes through a purging system that depends on the value of the item. However, items that can cause hygiene concerns such as soiled clothes, lunch bags, dishes and mugs are only held for seven days, and if there is food in it, it is disposed of immediately. Items with low monetary value such as generic sunglasses or costume jewelry will get donated to local charities such as Goodwill. Items that have more monetary value such as computers or bicycles get auctioned off through the college and then the funds from that auction are placed in the College’s Misc./Other income account. Items that can have a practical benefit to the college, such as graphing calculators, get donated to LCCC’s math or science departments.

Finding items

When a student or faculty member finds an item or loses an item, they first need to contact a Campus Safety officer. The officer can secure a found item in a safe, locked location within the Campus Safety area. All items will be put on the inventory form and tracked through a computer to make sure it’s checked for accuracy, duration and chain of custody. This inventory control sheet will then be reviewed daily.

At times, an item will come in that has a name on it. Campus Safety will strive to look for an existing college record to make sure the item is promptly returned to its owner. If someone loses an item Campus Safety also maintains a registry where they can try to claim it. The officer gets the name, contact information and description of the item from the owner, then the officer can regularly check the registry as items begin to come in. The name will be held on this registry for three months before it is cleared off. If the owner does locate the item without the use of Campus Safety they do ask that they contact an officer so that they can then be removed from the registry.

Finding money

When it comes to checkbooks, debit or credit cards brought into Campus Safety, officers will try to contact the issuing bank and follow the directions given by that bank. Most banks will advise them to shred the item. However, when it comes to cash found, Campus Safety will hold onto it for a 90-day period and if it goes unclaimed it will go into the Misc./Other income account at LCCC.

Reclaiming Lost Items

To reclaim lost items, students and faculty must visit Campus Safety and meet with an officer who will ask detailed questions regarding the item lost to ensure that the item is being returned to the correct person. The officer will ask to see an ID and the owner will sign an inventory release form to retrieve their item.

If you have lost an item or need to turn in an item, call 307.630.0645 (Cheyenne Campus) or 307.772.4263 (ACC Laramie Campus) to speak with an officer.

What should you do if you are a victim of sexual assault?

• Get help quickly – Report it, to College Officials and/or the police.
• Do not douche, bathe or change clothes until you have talked to the police. You may destroy valuable evidence needed by the police.

What should you do if you are being sexually harassed?

If you are being harassed, attempt to stop it. If you don’t do something, the situation will not change; your anger and the feeling that you have no power will continue to grow.

The first step is to tell offenders to stop, that you don’t like what they are doing. You have the right to control your body. You are not to blame if someone else sexually harasses you. If that doesn’t stop the harassment, report the incident to a Title IX Coordinator, Campus Safety, the Dean of Students or Counseling and Campus Wellness.

Other information

1. The Title IX Coordinator will work to ensure the harassment stops, and make  any necessary adjustments to housing, class schedules, etc. needed during the investigation and adjudication of the incident(s).

   • The accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present, as provided by college policies or procedures, during a disciplinary proceeding.
   • Both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of any LCCC disciplinary proceedings brought alleging a sex offense.
   • Sanctions for students following a final determination by an LCCC disciplinary proceeding regarding rape, acquaintance rape, or other forcible or non-forcible sex offense shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. Sanctions may be as severe as suspension or expulsion.
   • Sanctions for employees following a final determination by an LCCC disciplinary proceeding regarding rape, acquaintance rape or other forcible or non-forcible sex offense shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. Sanctions may be as severe as termination of employment.

By registering for classes at Laramie County Community College (LCCC) the student agrees to pay all tuition, fees and other charges incurred, including but not limited to housing, meal plans, bookstore charges and fines (“Charges”). These charges shall be added to the student account and are considered a loan for educational benefit.

By processing a course registration, the student further acknowledges they have read and agree to the following terms and conditions:

College Policies: All students are responsible for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by LCCC policies, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as described in all official LCCC publications. The publications include, but are not limited to, LCCC policies and procedures, College catalog and schedules, student handbook, and academic calendars. Publications, policies and deadlines can be found on the LCCC website at www.lccc.wy.edu.

Official Form of Communication: The LCCC email account is the official means of communication for LCCC. All material sent by email to the college email address will be deemed received. It is the responsibility of the student to review emails and the LCCC student account summary regularly. In addition, the student agrees to allow LCCC, its affiliates, agents, and service providers to use written, electronic, or verbal means to contact the student as the law allows regarding their obligation to repay their debt to LCCC. The student may be contacted by manual calling methods, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, automated telephone dialing systems, emails, and/or text messages at any telephone number or email address associated with the student account, currently or in the future, including wireless telephone numbers. The student understands that others may be able to review the messages and/or emails related to their debts sent to or from LCCC, including their contents, which may include information about the debt and its status. The student further authorizes telephone calls to be recorded for assurance of quality, and/or other reasons.

Payment of Fees: All tuition, fees, charges and college expenses are due prior to the beginning of each academic term and are the student’s responsibility to pay. The specific payment due dates are listed in the academic calendar for each semester.

Payment Plan: Students may enroll in an optional monthly payment plan for a nominal enrollment fee. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be billed monthly by the payment plan provider. Full payment of the amount billed by the payment plan provider does not necessarily mean that that the student’s LCCC account is paid in full. Students must review their LCCC account statements to ensure the budgeted payment plan payments are sufficient to cover their balances with the College.

Financial Aid: Financial aid (grants, scholarships, loans) that has been approved but has not yet paid to the student account is considered to be pending. Pending aid is deducted from the current term balance in the Pending Financial Aid Details section of the student account statement. Any remaining balance will be billed to the student. In the event that financial aid is reduced or cancelled, or in the event that the student has not met the specified requirements for receiving such aid, the student will become responsible for the full balance of outstanding charges.

Refunds: Refunds will be processed for students with credit balances on their accounts. Changes that occur to accounts after refunds are processed may result in balances due to the College.

Withdrawal: If the student does not wish to attend, or if proper financial arrangements cannot be made, it is the responsibility of the student to withdraw all courses. The student understands that withdrawing from a class after the 100% tuition refund period will cause a balance on the student account. This balance must be paid in full upon withdrawal. If the withdrawal from a class or classes causes a portion or all of the financial aid to be returned to the source from which it originated (i.e. federal government, lender or other) the student will be charged for the returned funds and is responsible for immediately paying the balance in full. Failure to withdraw from classes in a timely manner or non-attendance does not relieve student from financial responsibility of student account balance.

Drop for Non-payment: Students are responsible for withdrawing from courses using College approved methods. However, the College reserves the right to administratively drop students who do not pay their student account balance in full or obtain financial arrangements (financial aid, 3rd party agreement, payment plan) by advertised payment due date. Drop dates are listed in the academic calendar each semester.

Financial Hold: The College reserves the right to place a hold on student account and withhold future services (registration, transcript request, diploma, etc.) to students who have any outstanding balances with the College.

---

Debt Collection: The College will pursue all collection efforts and practices in collecting any unpaid balance. These practices include placing phone calls, texting, mailing/emailing statements and collection letters, referring the account to a collection agency and having the debt reported on student’s credit bureau reports, and referring balance to an attorney to pursue the balance via litigation. If your account balance is referred to an outside collection agency the student account may be assessed additional fees up to 35% of student account balance. These fees are associated with the collection of the debt including but not limited to collection agency fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and all other charges allowed by law. 

Bankruptcy: Educational and related fees are generally non-dischargeable in bankruptcy and will survive after the bankruptcy has closed. Except in certain limited situations, this means that a student will still owe the debt to the College after the bankruptcy.
