Sexual harassment of employees or students at Coastal Carolina University is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, verbal or other expressive behaviors, or physical conduct commonly understood to be of a sexual nature. Prohibited acts of sexual harassment may take a variety of forms ranging from subtle pressure for sexual activity to physical assault. Smoking Policy Smoking or the possession of lighted smoking materials in any form inside university buildings is prohibited except in those areas designated as smoking areas and in certain enclosed private offices. In areas where smoking is permitted, signs must be displayed except in enclosed private offices. Telephone Regulations Students are not permitted to use University telephones for long distance calls unless authorized by a University official.
Pay telephones are available at various locations on campus.
The University deems it essential that all students be provided an adequate opportunity to bring complaints and problems to the attention of the administration with the assurance that they will be treated promptly, professionally, fairly, confidentially, and without fear of reprisal. If any student believes he or she has been mistreated by any member of the faculty or staff, the procedures listed below should be followed. They are intended to simplify the proper route for students to follow in complaining about any perceived mistreatment by a University employee and are not intended to replace any existing grievance process for matters that may be grieved. Students who are unsure about this complaint policy are encouraged to consult with their academic advisers. Complaints about faculty on academic matters should be reported to the department chair or dean who supervises the professor or instructor, or inquire at the Office of the Provost, Singleton Building.
