Any student or employee who believes that he or she has
been harassed or retaliated against in violation of this policy
should immediately report such incidents by following
the procedures described in AR 3435 Discrimination and
Harassment Investigations. Supervisors are mandated to
report all incidents of harassment and retaliation that come
to their attention.
This policy applies to all aspects of the academic environ-
ment, including but not limited to classroom conditions,
grades, academic standing, employment opportunities,

and participation in any community college activity. In
addition, this policy applies to all terms and conditions
of employment, including but not limited to hiring, place-
ment, promotion, disciplinary action, layoff, recall, transfer,
leave of absence, training opportunities and compensation.
To this end the Superintendent/President or designee shall
ensure that the institution undertakes education and train-
ing activities to counter discrimination and to prevent,
minimize and/or eliminate any hostile environment that
impairs access to equal education opportunity or impacts
the terms and conditions of employment.
The Superintendent/President or designee shall establish
administrative regulations that define harassment on
campus. The Superintendent/President or designee shall
further establish regulations for employees, students, and
other members of the campus community that provide for
the investigation and resolution of complaints regarding
harassment and discrimination, and procedures for students
to resolve complaints of harassment and discrimination.
All participants are protected from retaliatory acts by the
District, its employees, students, and agents.
This policy and related written regulations (including the
regulation for making complaints) shall be widely published
and publicized to administrators, faculty, staff, and stu-
dents, particularly when they are new to the institution, as
required in Education Code 66281.5. Employees who violate

NON-SMOKING POLICY ON CAMPUS
It is the policy of the Glendale Community College district
to not allow smoking on campus. On April 15, 2013, the
Board of Trustees approved a revision of Board Policy 3570
Smoking Policy which states that smoking is not permit-
ted on any district-owned property. This policy pertains
to students, faculty, staff, administrators, visitors, and the
general public.
In addition, the Campus Executive Committee of Glendale
Community College approved a revision of Administrative
Regulation 3570 Smoking Policy. Included in this revision
are the following:
2 0 2 0 – 2 0 2 1 C ATA L O G • G L E N DA L E C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E
• Smoking is not allowed on campus or in any GCC-owned
or leased facility or in any district-owned or leased
vehicles. This includes all district-owned parking lots,
whether inside or outside of a vehicle.
• This also applies to electronic cigarettes or other imita-
tion cigarette devices.
• Violations to the policy are subject to a $100 fine.
The College Police are authorized by the Board of Trustees
to enforce this policy and issue citations consistent with
California Government Codes 7596-7598.
An information campaign has started at GCC to inform
students, staff and the public of this change in policy. Cur-
rently, the College Police are educating and enforcing this
policy on all District campuses.
Additional sanctions can also be placed through other
administrative means such as the Student Code of Conduct
or Administrative Regulations as prescribed in campus
policies and procedures.
Any person observed littering (such as throwing a cigarette
on the ground) can be issued a citation, consistent with
California Penal Code 374.4.
This policy does not apply to city-owned land. Information on
city restrictions on smoking can be found at the following link:

STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION POLICY
Certain categories of student information are considered
“open” or directory information. The college policy on the
sharing of directory information to outside agencies and
individuals (including parents and spouses of enrolled
students) is limited to: name, e-mail address; major
field of study; dates of attendance; degrees, honors and
awards received; and the most recent previous institution
attended. A student may request that directory information
not be released by signing a request form at the Office
of Admissions and Records. The request form must be
received by the last day of the second week of instruction
for a fall or spring semester or by the last day of the first
week of instruction for a winter or summer session. In
that case, this information will not be disclosed except
with the consent of the student or as otherwise allowed
by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
(FERPA). BP 5040.
