SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012-2013 CATALOG & STUDENT HANDBOOK Designated Areas Because each College has a limited amount of outdoor space, activities and events sponsored by non-MCCCD-affiliated users, including speech and literature distribution, shall be restricted to designated areas. For each College, the Responsible Campus Official shall establish specific designated areas for such activities. A written description of these areas shall be maintained at the office of Student Life and Leadership for each College. Consistent with the goal of providing a healthy, comfortable, and educationally productive environment, the Responsible Campus Official should attempt to locate the designated areas in prominent locations on campus where there is a likelihood of significant pedestrian traffic. The designated areas shall not be located in building stairways and entryways, parking lots, or congested areas. The Responsible Campus Official will make every effort to assign users to their requested space when a specific space is desired. However, in order to ensure the potential success of all scheduled events, the College reserves the right to assign an event or activity to the area the College deems most appropriate in light of the campus capacity, other activities scheduled, and the type of event or activity being planned. Use Fees and Proof of Insurance To offset the costs associated with the use of campus grounds, non- MCCCD-affiliated users shall be required to pay a fee of $50 per day or $125 per week. In order to protect the health and safety of College students, faculty and staff and to protect MCCCD resources, non-MCCCD- affiliated users shall also be required to provide proof of insurance that indicates at least $1 million in general liability coverage and names MCCCD as an additional insured for the anticipated use date. The fee and proof-of-insurance provisions of this administrative regulation shall not be applied to low-impact, non-commercial users. A user may request designation as a low-impact, non-commercial user from the applicable College's Responsible Campus Official. Any questions or comments about the criteria for approval or denial of such request shall be directed to the District Ombudsman. Permits The approved request form will describe the location of the authorized activity and any other restrictions specific to the event. Violation of the terms of the approved request form, District policy, administrative regulation or law shall be grounds for immediate revocation of the permit, and the individual violators and their organizations may be banned from the campus. Priorities and Criteria for Approval of Permits The content or subject of the proposed expressive activity or event will not affect approval of the application. Availability of space is not guaranteed. Reservations shall be approved on a space-available basis and will be addressed on a first come-first served basis, subject to the following priorities and criteria for the use and scheduling of space on campus grounds: Scheduling Priorities (in order): 1.

Activities and events sponsored by MCCCD student organizations or employee groups. 4. Activities of non-MCCCD-affiliated individuals and organizations. 5. Commercial advertising or activities.
