BUILDING SAFETY:
Tidewater Community College (TCC) considers the safety of the college community to be of
paramount importance. The college is committed to providing a safe and secure environment
for students, employees, and visitors to its campuses and other facilities.
TCC’s mission with respect to safety is to safeguard the lives of faculty, staff, and students, to
lessen the extent of personnel injuries that may occur, to promote better college-wide working
conditions, and to protect the college’s resources in the event of an accident or emergency.
Increased awareness of accident prevention is the key to ensuring a safe environment for all
employees, students, and visitors to the college. All college employees are responsible for
following established safety rules and procedures, reporting and taking the necessary actions to
correct any hazards they observe, and to report all accidents immediately to their respective
supervisor.
The college does not tolerate behavior or actions that are disruptive to the process of
education or its operations, or that threaten individuals or groups within the college
community. The college reserves the right to order anyone whose behavior is disruptive to
leave its property.
Security Officers:
TCC security staff are not sworn law enforcement officers and are not authorized to
carry weapons of any type, nor are they empowered to make arrests. College security
staff on duty can assist with disruptive situations, but when circumstances require the
presence of law enforcement officers, security staff will contact the host locality police.
In such instances, the college Security Director will be notified immediately.
Incidents requiring the response of college security staff will be reported using the
Incident/Observation Report. A copy of the report will be provided to the respective
campus dean of student services if a student is involved. Incidents involving TCC

TCC promotes a safe and secure environment in which to learn and work. The presence
of weapons on college premises or at college-sponsored events is not conducive to
maintaining such an environment.
Possession or carrying of any weapon by any person, except a law-enforcement officer,
is prohibited on college property in academic buildings, administrative office buildings,
student centers, child care centers, dining facilities, and places of like kind where people
congregate, or while attending any sporting, entertainment or educational events.
Any individual in violation shall be directed to remove the weapon immediately. Failure
to comply may result in a student conduct referral, an employee disciplinary action, or
arrest.
These restrictions shall not apply to current sworn and certified local, state, and federal
law-enforcement officers with proper identification.
For more information, please refer to TCC Policies and Procedures No. 1101.

―Happy Birthday). The advertisement must be approved by the CSC Associate Director or
designee. Events may only be advertised two days prior to the event and failure to follow
the chalking guidelines will result in loss of chalking privileges.
Areas permitted to be chalked are:
 The Breeze Way entry into the Student Center
 Sidewalks approaching the Student Center
 Sidewalk in front of and leading into the George B. Pass building
 Sidewalk in front of and leading into the Marian P. Whitehurst building
 Outdoor sidewalks connecting buildings and modular buildings
 Chalking is not permitted on brick paving surfaces.
 Messages shall not be written on any vertical surface which includes buildings, signs,
walls, pillars, posts, benches, planters, doors, windows, fountains, gates, bridges,
trash receptacles, steps and light posts.
 Chalking is allowed for five (5) working days. Clean-up must be conducted by the
responsible party at the conclusion of the 5th working day. If chalking is not totally
removed, there will be a charge for clean-up.
 Water-soluble chalk must be used.
Digital Signage:
Student organizations and college departments have access to advertise events and
programs on the digital information monitors located throughout the facility. Information
to be posted on the digital signage should be submitted via the Digital Signage Form and
sent to the CSC Information Desk electronically to csccenter@tcc.edu. All signage requests
are subject to approval and may need to be modified to ensure proper formatting.
Information must be approved before being posted.
Outdoor Signage:
Outdoor signs may be posted on “sandwich boards” at various locations around the
Chesapeake Student Center. Also, outdoor signs may be ordered and paid for by the
sponsoring organization. Requests for posting this type of signage and a mockup of the
sign should be submitted with your event request form for approval. Signs must be
removed post event.

EXPRESSIVE ACTIVITY:
TCC and the Chesapeake Student Center promote the free exchange of ideas while
maintaining the safe, effective, and efficient operation of the college. The Expressive
24 | P a g e
JULY 2015
PROCEDURES
Activity Policy applies to all buildings, grounds, and other spaces
owned or controlled by Tidewater Community College. It provides for expressive
activities by all students,
student organizations, and employees of Tidewater Community College. The policy
extends to individuals or organizations who are not members of the college community
(i.e., not students, student organizations, or college employees) who are sponsored by a
college recognized student organization. It does not provide privileges to employees of
Tidewater Community College contractors or vendors assigned to work at a college
location. Nor does it provide opportunities for commercial activities, i.e., the offering of
or promotion of goods and services for sale or other consideration. This policy does not
apply in instances when speakers, performers, groups, etc. are invited by the college.
Nor does it apply to external groups that arrange to use college space through a
Facilities Use Agreement.
Tidewater Community College property is primarily dedicated to academic, student life,
and administrative functions. But it also represents the “marketplace of ideas,” and
especially for students, many areas of campus represent a public forum for speech and
other expressive activities. The college may place restrictions on expressive activities
occurring indoors, but especially for students and student organizations, the outdoor
areas of campus remain venues for free expression, including speeches,
demonstrations, and the distribution of literature. Indoors or outdoors, TCC shall not
interfere with the rights of individuals and groups to the free expression of their views
or impermissibly regulate their speech based on its content or viewpoint. Such
restrictions must be content-neutral, narrowly tailored to serve a significant
governmental interest, and allow ample alternative channels for communication of the
information. No event or expressive activity shall be permitted to violate or hinder the
rights of others within the campus community or substantially disrupt normal college
operations. Door-to-door activities, such as solicitation and distribution of literature, are
prohibited in college buildings.
While the college is obligated to provide opportunities for expressive activities, TCC shall
be under no obligation to require or promote attendance at such events or to provide
ancillary services, such as sound amplification or other audio-visual services to enhance
the presentation of the expressive activity. Students, student organizations, and
employees will not be charged for routine services, such as Security or Custodial
Services for an expressive activity event. However, in the event that the venue
requested for the expressive activity normally has other service charges for its use, such
as the Roper Theater, the student, student organization, or employee requesting the
venue shall be responsible for paying for those services. College-sponsored activities
and events shall take precedence over all extracurricular activities and events, including
expressive activities. During an expressive activity event, the student, student
organization, or college employee using an interior facility shall be responsible for
preserving and maintaining the facility. If the event results in any damage to the facility,
the person(s) or organization (and its officers, if applicable) conducting the expressive
25 | P a g e

PROCEDURES
activity shall assume responsibility for the damage. This responsibility shall also extend
to those conducting an expressive activity event in an exterior area of the college when
the event results in damage to college structures or infrastructure (e.g., sidewalks and
other hardscapes, underground utilities, etc.).
In general, the college’s procedures will provide opportunities for scheduled and
unscheduled or spontaneous expressive activity in a manner that does not interfere
with the safe, effective, and efficient conduct of the college’s business functions or with
the rights of other individuals.
Reserving College Facilities for Expressive Activity:
 Students, student organizations, or college employees desiring to reserve college
facilities for expressive activities shall submit their requests to the designated
college administrator.
 Normally, twenty-four hours advance notice shall be required when individual
students, student organizations, or employees desire to use designated college
space or facilities as delineated below. More notice may be required to allow for
sufficient logistical support and to ensure the safety and security of the campus or
center.
 The college areas and facilities are designated as available, with prior scheduling, for
expressive activities, including the expressive activity of individual students and
employees.
 Requests to Schedule Expressive Activities must be submitted to the designated
college administrator at least twenty-four hours in advance of the desired time of
the activity. More notice may be required depending upon the anticipated size of
the group, the popularity of the space, and other factors to allow for sufficient
logistical support.
 The designated college administrator shall not require any more advance notice
than is necessary to make appropriate arrangements to support the activity.
 The request shall include the specific location requested, the estimated number of
expected attendees/participants, and the name and contact information of at least
one person who can be contacted regarding logistics of the event, including at least
one person who will be present at the event.
 The designated college administrator shall respond to the request to schedule an
expressive activity as soon as feasible after its receipt. When assessing a request to
reserve campus facilities, the administrator must not consider the content or
viewpoint of the expression or the possible reaction to that expression.
 Restrictions may not be imposed on students, student organizations, or college
employees due to the content or viewpoint of their expression or the possible
reaction to that expression.

In the event that other persons react negatively to a student’s, student
organization’s, or college employee’s expression, college officials (including TCC
Security staff) shall take all necessary steps to ensure public safety while allowing
the expressive activity to continue.
Requests to use the designated areas and facilities from students, student
organizations, or employees shall be approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
These requests may be denied only for the following reasons:
o the requested venue is an indoor facility that the college has designated as
not available for expressive activity under section 4.3 of this policy;
o the requested venue is an indoor facility and the request conflicts with
restrictions enacted pursuant to section 4.3 of this policy;
o the activity will attract a crowd larger than the venue can safely contain;
o the activity will substantially disrupt college operations (including classes);
o the venue is already reserved for another event;
o the activity will substantially disrupt another event being held at a
neighboring venue;
In the event that multiple individuals or organizations submit conflicting reservation
requests, the following order of precedence shall govern:
o official college-sponsored activities and events;
o recognized student organization activities and events;
o student activities and events; and
o all other activities and events.
o the activity is a clear and present threat to public safety, according to the TCC
Security department; or
o the activity is unlawful.
Spontaneous Expressive Activity Students, student organizations, and employees
shall be allowed to engage in unscheduled or spontaneous expressive events and
activities consistent with the following provisions.
No college personnel may impose restrictions on students, student organizations (or
their sponsored guests), or employees who are engaging in spontaneous expressive
activities due to the content or viewpoint of their expression or the possible reaction
to that expression.
In the event that other persons react negatively to these activities, college officials
(including TCC Security staff) shall take all necessary steps to ensure public safety
while allowing the expressive activity to continue.
Outdoor Areas:
For outdoor college facilities and areas, students, student organizations, their sponsored
guests, and employees may freely engage in spontaneous expressive activities as long as
they do not:

block access to campus buildings;
obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic;
substantially disrupt previously scheduled campus events;
substantially disrupt college operations;
constitute unlawful activity; or
create a clear and present threat to public safety, according to the TCC Security
department.
Indoor Areas:
No indoor areas or facilities of the college are designated as available for spontaneous
expressive activities.
Relocation of Expressive Activity:
The designated college administrator may require that a spontaneous expressive activity
be relocated if it substantially disrupts college operations, violates or hinders the rights
of others, creates a clear and present threat to public safety, substantially disrupts
previously scheduled campus events. The administrator may suggest alternative
locations for the expressive activity that ceases the disruption and provide ample
alternative channels for communication of the information. The expression of
competing viewpoints or multiple speakers in proximity to each other does not, in and
of itself, constitute a substantial disruption.
Areas Not Available for Expressive Activity College:
Campus administrative offices (including support facilities, such as warehouses and
physical plant/facilities maintenance spaces), libraries (other than designated public
meeting spaces), and classrooms during their scheduled instructional hours are not
available for expressive activity. College areas under the control of contractors,
including spaces designated for food services, child care (including identified outside
play areas), bookstore operations, and construction zones are not available for
expressive activity.
Responsibility for Damages:
If damage occurs to college property as a result of the expressive activity event, the
Director of Facilities Management & Services shall determine the cost to repair or
restore the damaged area or infrastructure. The person or organization responsible for
the event will be assessed the cost of the repair/restoration.

1. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines and procedures for the use of
Tidewater Community College (TCC) facilities, including academic and non-academic
spaces and exterior areas, by external entities.
2. Policy
As a service to the community, TCC permits other state agencies, local governments,
community groups, non-profit organizations, for-profit entities, and individuals to
request the use of college facilities for meetings and other events on a space-available
basis. Priority of use shall be given to those activities related to the academic, student
services, cultural, recreational, and employee support programs and functions of the
college.
TCC facilities shall be used in a manner consistent with their intended purpose and in
a safe, professional manner so as to not endanger the college community or the

general public. The college may restrict access to land and buildings to protect
individuals, property, and equipment. Any person utilizing a college facility who
engages in unlawful or disruptive conduct or violates college policy may be directed
by a college official to leave the property. Failure to comply with such requests and
failure to abide by regulations governing the use of college facilities constitute
trespassing under Virginia state law and may lead to disciplinary action and/or arrest.
TCC is not obligated to tolerate events that interfere with any lawful mission, process,
or function of the college. Requests for approval of events may be denied if they pose
a clear and present danger to college students, employees, and facility users.
2.1. Applicability
The procedure for requesting the use of TCC’s facilities shall apply to all external
entities except as noted. In all cases, the responsible college official (i.e., the
respective Campus Provost, the Vice President for Workforce Solutions, or other
member of the President’s Executive Staff) shall determine whether the
requested use is compatible with the college’s operations and this policy.
Other state agencies shall be afforded the use of TCC facilities for legitimate
business purposes at no cost. By virtue of their financial support for the
development of the college’s campuses, local governments shall be permitted to
use the college’s facilities for legitimate business purposes at no cost. Non-profit
entities shall not be charged the space utilization fee for meeting space but will
be charged the direct costs of using the college’s space for their meetings (e.g.,
set-up/break-down, custodial, audio-visual, and security services). For other
uses by non-profit entities (e.g., athletic or recreational sports, cultural events,
community fairs, etc.), the responsible college official shall determine the charge,
up to one-half the space utilization fee charged to for-profit entities plus the
associated direct costs. For-profit entities and individuals shall be charged the
space utilization fee as well as the direct costs for using the college’s space. The
Facilities Use Agreement (Appendix B) shall be completed in all instances of use
by external entities.
This policy does not apply to the use of college facilities by college-sponsored
organizations (e.g., recognized student clubs & organizations, employee groups,
etc.) or related entities (e.g., TCC Educational Foundation). Nor does it apply to
college-approved programs or activities, including those sponsored by or under
the direction of the college or one of its related entities or approved organizations.
This policy does not apply to the TCC Roper Performing Arts Center theater,
which operates under commonly accepted business processes for commercial
theaters. A distinct Facilities Use Agreement has been developed and approved
by the appropriate legal counsel for the theater. The Vice President for Academic
Affairs & Chief Academic Officer exercises executive oversight over the theater’s
operations and shall ensure that they comport with the college’s mission and
strategic objectives.

Revenues from the use of college Auxiliary program spaces (e.g., student center
spaces) shall be deposited into an appropriate local fund budget account.
Revenues generated by the space utilization fee for college Education & General
(E&G) space shall be deposited into an appropriate state E&G budget account.
Recovery of direct costs shall be deposited into the account from which the
service was provided.
2.3. Catering and Alcoholic Beverage Service
The college’s contracted food services vendor shall have first right of refusal for
all catering associated with events arranged under this policy. Event sponsors
desiring to include alcoholic beverage service shall comply with TCC Policy 1103

The Executive Vice President, in consultation with the Campus Provosts and Vice
President for Workforce Solutions, shall develop and maintain procedures that are
consistent with this policy.
4. Procedures
The following procedures shall be used to request and approve use of college facilities
by external entities.
4.1. Request to Use College Facilities
After identifying the desired TCC space, the potential user will complete a
Facilities Use Request and submit it to the college official responsible for the
space – i.e., the respective Campus Provost or the Vice President for Workforce
Solutions, or designee. For those spaces with reservation forms in the college’s
Event Management System, the online form shall be used. For other TCC spaces
and facilities, Appendix A (Facilities Use Request Form) shall be used.
4.2. Review and Response to Request to Use College Facilities
Upon receipt of a request to use a facility or space under his/her purview, the
responsible college official (i.e., Campus Provost or Vice President for Workforce
Solutions, or designee) shall determine whether the proposed event is consistent
with this policy. If it is not, the responsible college official will notify the requestor
that the proposed use is not permissible under college policy.
If the event is permissible under this policy, the responsible college official will
determine the space utilization fee and direct costs, complete User Charges and
College Approval section of the Facilities Use Request Form and return it and a
copy of Appendix B (Facilities Use Agreement) to the requestor. The responsible
college official shall also advise the user of any instructions specific to the event
(e.g., catering, adherence to the college’s policy on alcoholic beverages, etc.)
and the date(s) by which the Facilities Use Agreement and the required
Page 3 of 4
Policy 3204

insurance certification must be returned in order to hold the requested space for
the event.
At the conclusion of the requested event, the responsible college official will

Paragraph B below and Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the
“Facilities”).
6. Event Fee: In consideration for the User’s use of the Facilities pursuant to this
Agreement, the User shall pay the College the Facilities Use Fee, in the
amount(s) and according to the schedule on the attached Exhibit B, by check(s)
made payable to the College and delivered to:
121 College Place, Suite 510
Norfolk, Virginia 23510
Attn: Accounts Receivable
7. Authorized Uses: [DESCRIBE USES WITH SPECIFICITY AND IN DETAIL]
B. Agreement: The College hereby permits the User to use 1) on a nonexclusive
basis, certain College roadways and parking areas on campus for the Event to be
held on the dates and times set forth in A.4 above, and 2) certain of the College’s
land for the purpose of set-up, conducting the Event, a vendor area and parking,
and restoration of the Facilities to their condition prior to the Event, and such other
uses as are described specifically in A.7 above. Specifically, the User shall have
the right of reasonable access to the locations shown on Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof, at the date(s) and times specified in paragraph A.4 above.
User shall have nonexclusive access to the Facilities at the stated times solely for
the Authorized Uses in A.7 above. The User’s use on the day prior to the Event
shall be limited to setup activities and on the day after the Event shall be limited to
Page 2 of 8
cleanup/restoration activities. User agrees to accept all the Facilities in as-is
condition and shall leave them in the condition received.
It shall be User’s
responsibility to repair and/or clean the Facilities, at User’s sole cost and expense,
in order to return the same to their condition prior to the Event. The User shall be
fully responsible for ensuring that the Facilities are safe for participants of the Event
and that it has communicated with the College regarding what police and safety
services are adequate to address all applicable laws, safety codes and regulations.
The College reserves the right at all times to control all of the Facilities, areas and
other resources of the College, including, without limitation, the right to relocate
User into alternative, comparable space on campus, and to enforce all applicable
laws, rules and regulations relating thereto. Duly authorized representatives of the
College may enter the Facilities for maintenance at any time and on any occasion
without any restriction whatsoever.
C. Equipment, Services Provided by the College, and Utilities: The College shall
provide certain services in the manner and at the costs set forth on Exhibit C
attached hereto and made a part hereof. In addition, the User may request the
College to provide certain other equipment, services or other resources in
connection with the User’s use of the Facilities. To that end, User shall request, in
writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled event for such equipment,
services or other resources, the nature and quality of such desired use. To the
extent that the User’s use of the Facilities will require extraordinary utility
consumption, the User shall pay the College for such utility consumption (e.g.,
electricity) by User in the Facilities and for any equipment rentals or other usage
of services or resources under this provision at the College’s standard rates. Such
rates will be provided to the User upon request. To the extent that the User
provides its own equipment for use at the Facilities, such use shall be subject to
the prior approval of the College, and the College shall not be liable for any damage
or loss to such equipment, unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the College.
Page 3 of 8
D.
User’s Responsibilities: The User shall be responsible for obtaining and paying
for any and all necessary licenses and/or royalties required by all applicable
copyright laws, and for advertising and ticket printing, if any. The User shall be
responsible for all of its own costs and expenses, including without limitation any
payments made to any union, guild, or artists association hired by the User for the
matters covered by this Agreement.
The User is responsible for paying all
applicable state and federal taxes, if any, relating to User’s activities under this
Agreement. The User will be charged Virginia Sales Tax for any rentals or other
items for which such sales tax would apply, unless a current exemption is
appropriate and available to User. The User may use only the Facilities set forth
in this Agreement. Under no condition shall any unauthorized person undertake
repair, service or alteration any portion of a Facility without the prior written consent
of the College which may be withheld in the College’s sole and absolute discretion.
E. Liability:
The User assumes any and all risk of loss, damage, or liability
whatsoever which the User, the User’s officers, agents, employees or invitees may
sustain while using the Facilities. The College, its officers, agents and employees
shall not be liable for any injury, damage or loss of personal property which occurs
on or about the Facilities caused by the negligence or misconduct of the User, the
User’s officers, agents and employees or invitees or their use of the Facilities. The
User shall defend, indemnify and hold the College harmless from any and all
losses, expenses, demands, actions, suits, claims or liabilities of whatsoever
nature resulting from any injury or death to any persons or any property damage
related to User’s use of the Facilities.
F. Insurance: The User shall maintain, at the User’s expense, during the term of this
Agreement, liability insurance in which both the User and the College, its officers,
agents and employees, are named as insureds with minimum policy limits of two
million dollars for personal injuries, including death, and one million dollars in
aggregate for all property damage; the term of such coverage shall coincide with
the term of this Agreement. The insurance policy shall contain a provision which
Page 4 of 8
states that it cannot be canceled except upon at least fifteen (15) days prior
express written notice to all insureds. The User shall keep such insurance in place
and current throughout the term of this Agreement and shall furnish the College,
at least two (2) weeks prior to the Event, with copies of the policies required
hereunder.
G. Nature of this Agreement: The parties understand that: i) this agreement is a
contract and not a real property lease, ii) the relationship hereunder is that of
contracting parties and not that of landlord and tenant, and iii) this Agreement does
not convey an interest in real estate. As such, the College reserves the right to
change the location of the Facilities or to terminate this Agreement in accordance
with the terms hereof.
H. Damages and Loss: If the Facilities incur any loss or damage as a result of the
User’s use, User’s negligence or willful conduct or that of the User’s employees,
agents or invitees, the College will repair and/or replace damaged or lost property
as required to restore it to its condition before the damage or loss, and will invoice
the User for the cost, due and payable upon receipt. The User is deemed to have
accepted the Facilities and other College resources described here in the condition
existing as of the date of this Agreement, except for only latent, undisclosed
defects of which the College had knowledge.
I. Miscellaneous: The User cannot assign this License in whole or part without the
College’s express prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in the
College’s sole and absolute discretion. The User shall not represent or imply, in
any way, that the User is affiliated with the College, and the User shall not
represent or imply that the College endorses, co-sponsors or approves of the
User’s activities without the College’s express written permission. This Agreement
contains all the parties’ understandings and agreements related to the User’s use
of the Facilities, and may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by
both parties and attached hereto. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to conflict of law principles.
Page 5 of 8
The User is subject to all applicable state and federal laws and the College’s rules
and regulations. In its performance under this Agreement, the User acts and will
act as an independent contractor, and not as an agent or employee of the
Commonwealth.
J. College Rules and Regulations: The User and its employees, agents,
representatives and attendees shall comply with all applicable laws, codes,
regulations, policies and procedures of the College and the Virginia Community
College System, including without limitation the following – attendees at the Event
are prohibited from: smoking in public buildings; possession of illegal substances;
cooking or serving food, except in designated kitchen areas; possession of
animals, except when required to assist disabled persons; tampering with fire
system or fire safety equipment; possession of any weapon or facsimile, fireworks,
or other flammable materials; disruptive, destructive or dangerous behavior;
possession or consumption of alcohol in public areas, or possession or
consumption of alcohol by persons under the age of twenty-one.
K. Cancellations or Changes Made by College: The College is not liable for any
cancellation or change in location caused by events beyond the College’s
reasonable control, such as acts of God or acts of the Commonwealth in its
sovereign or contractual capacity. The College will close to the public, including
persons who wish to attend on-campus events, if the College’s designated officials
determine there is reasonable cause, such as weather emergency, power outage,
water outage, civil unrest, threat to national security or any other occurrence that,
in the opinion of the College’s officials, is potentially and sufficiently dangerous to
persons on campus or traveling to campus. The College shall not be responsible
for any costs resulting from a cancellation or delay due to weather emergency,
power outage, water outage, civil unrest, threat to national security or any other
occurrence that is potentially dangerous to persons on campus. Event fees are
non-refundable, provided, however, that the College will make a reasonable
attempt to reschedule events that have been cancelled.
Page 6 of 8
L. Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties relating to the matters covered hereby. This Agreement terminates at the
end of the term set forth in paragraph A.4 above, regardless of whether the event
scheduled by the User occurs or is completed. Extensions or modifications, if any,
to this Agreement, shall be made only by a written agreement between the parties.
M. Additional Conditions (if any): This agreement shall be contingent upon the
User providing to the College the following items on or before
, 20
: [Insert any applicable conditions “NONE ”]
N. State Provisions: This Agreement and the parties hereto are subject to the
following additional provisions required by the Commonwealth: Because the
College, as an entity of the Commonwealth of Virginia, cannot accept certain
standard clauses that may appear in typical contracts between private parties, as
a matter of law and policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the User agrees that
no provision described below which appears in any accompanying contract shall
be of any force and effect against the College:

property damage not authorized by the Virginia Tort Claims Act;
b. any provision constituting anyone other than a duly authorized college
employee as the agent of the College;
c. a provision requiring the College to indemnify, save, and hold any person,
entity or party harmless from any risk, damage, or cost whatsoever;

other than that of Virginia in the interpretation or enforcement of the
contract, including this addendum;
Page 7 of 8
e. a provision limiting the User’s liability for property damage or personal injury
due to fault or negligence;
f. any requirement that the User be named as a coinsured to any insurance
policy or program of self-insurance maintained by the College;
g. any term requiring the College to abide by the rules of unions or any other
non-governmental association;
h. any term imposing personal liability upon the officer or employee who signs
the contract for the College;
i.
any term that requires the College to engage in, or submit to, binding
arbitration.
j.
requiring the College to withhold information from the public contrary to
the requirement of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
k. purporting to afford the User a remedy against the College that is not
otherwise available by virtue of the sovereign immunity of the

Constitution.
l.
Requiring the College to waive legal rights that by law may only be waived
by the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In addition, if this Agreement is for a sum in excess of $10,000, then the User agrees
to comply with the following provisions required by the Virginia Public Procurement
Act: § 2.2-4311 of the Code of Virginia (regarding anti-discrimination) and § 2.2-4312

EMERGENCIES
Revised 3/10
Preparing for Emergencies
TCC is committed to ensuring students,
faculty, and staff are prepared to remain safe
during an emergency.
TCC has developed Preparing for
Emergencies as a tool to help its students,
faculty, and staff prepare for and respond to
the unexpected consequences resulting from
emergencies and disasters. It is designed
to be a quick reference to assist the TCC
community in planning ahead to know what
to do before, during, and after an emergency
to ensure their own safety and the safety of
those around them.

Emergency Preparedness
The best time to prepare for disasters is before they strike. The
best way to minimize potential loss and speed up the process
of recovery from hurricanes, snow storms, fires, or terrorist
acts is to plan ahead.
The first step is to be informed and be prepared. TCC Alerts
is an emergency notification system that allows Tidewater
Community College to contact you during an emergency. If you
haven’t already done so, sign up for TCC Alerts and you’ll be
registered to receive urgent text messages to your cell phone,
e-mail address, pager, or Smart Phone. TCC Alerts are also
posted on the website, www.tcc.edu.
• Staying informed and being prepared is everyone’s
personal responsibility!
• Your judgment often determines whether or not an incident
is an emergency. If in doubt, err on the side of safety.
INTRODUCTION
1
• Be informed and prepared in advance. Know common
risks to which you might be exposed. Be aware of your
surroundings at all times.
• Prior planning includes being familiar with possible
hazards in your building and knowing evacuation routes
and location of the nearest fire alarm activation pull
station and fire extinguishers.
• Have an emergency kit available.
• If you carry a book bag, backpack, or purse keep a small
flashlight with batteries.
Questions regarding emergency procedures and response
should be addressed to:

Medical Emergencies
> Remain calm.
> Call 911 (9-911 from college phone) to report the incident,
then advise TCC Security (see page 28) so that first responders
can be directed to you.
> Do not move the patient unless safety dictates.
> Use pressure to stop bleeding.
> Be aware of hazards associated with bloodborne
pathogens. Avoid contact with body fluids. Wear proper
Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) if available. If exposed
to suspected infectious material, wash the exposed area
thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention.
> Comfort the patient and reassure that medical assistance
is on the way.
> If you provide first aid, consider the following:
• Is immediate action needed in order to save a life?
• Will I place myself in harm or jeopardy?
MEDICAL
5
> First aid is just that. Do not jeopardize your health or the
health of the patient. Wait for professional help if you are not
able to provide proper first aid safely.
> If trained, provide CPR.
BASIC CPR Reminder:
Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If not breathing
normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and
blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath
should take 1 second.
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or
moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest
1-1/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at
the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.
CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 30 PUMPS UNTIL HELP
ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR.

Fire and Explosion
> Activate the fire alarm.
> Warn others in the area of the emergency and call for help.
> Remain calm and follow any specific evacuation instructions.
> Evacuate the building as quickly and calmly as possible.
> Do not use the elevator!
> Direct visitors or anyone needing assistance to the nearest
exit or Area of Rescue.
> Move to the designated Emergency Assembly Area and
ensure everyone is accounted for.
> Report name and location of others who need assistance
evacuating.
> Do not leave until directed to do so by college officials.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
7
TIPS:
• Only if the fire is the size of an office trash can should
fire fighting be attempted using the closest fire
extinguishers. Fires beyond this size will likely spread
quickly and are beyond the capability of TCC resources to
safely extinguish.
• When using a fire extinguisher, remember:
P.A.S.S.
Pull - the pin
Aim - at base of fire
Squeeze - the handle
Sweep - back and forth as you spray
• If fire is present, stay low to the floor and exit the
building as quickly as possible.
• If items are falling, get under a sturdy table or desk.
• If trapped in debris, tap on a pipe or wall to alert rescuers.
• Untrained persons should not try to rescue people who
are inside a collapsed building; wait for emergency
personnel.

Severe Weather
Each of the TCC Campuses and the District Administration
office have been provided one or more National Oceanic
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather/all-hazard radios.
The National Weather Service (NWS), in cooperation with
emergency management, provides alerts for more than just
weather events. This is the early warning system and provides
critical information necessary to protect life and property in a
timely manner.
Weather Advisory Definitions:
• WATCH: Conditions are favorable for the development
of severe weather in the area. Everyone should closely
monitor the situation in case of deterioration.
• WARNING: Severe weather has actually been observed
and is imminent or is occurring in the area.

Evacuation of TCC Campuses, if necessary, will generally fall
into two categories:
Limited or Partial Evacuations – A building, designated
area, or group of buildings may be evacuated for a
specific time.
General Evacuation – One or more campus or other
facility is evacuated for an indefinite period of time.
It is very important that, regardless of the type or duration of an
evacuation, everyone listen very carefully to official information

Attachment A – Chesapeake Campus Emergency Assembly Areas & Routes
A. Emergency Assembly Areas
The following table identifies the Emergency Assembly Area for each Chesapeake
Campus building and the Regional Automotive Center and the staff assigned to
manage those areas. College staff and classes assemble more than 300 feet from
each building. Maps of the locations are at the end of this attachment. The Provost
will maintain a listing of EAA, Building/floor Wardens and runners. This listing should
be maintained at the end of this Attachment as campus-specific information and it
should be updated at least annually.

* Child Development is a contracted service. Under their state licensing they are required to
conduct various evacuation drills with staff and children more frequently than the college staff.
They maintain a separate Emergency Plan, which has been reviewed by TCC. To the extent
possible they will notify TCC when drills are conducted.
B. Evacuation Assembly Area Routes
Evacuation route maps will be posted in each occupied space. The maps should show
the most direct exit point and alternate exits within the building and the route to each.
Except in extraordinary circumstances, evacuation will be through the nearest
available exit. Once out of the building individuals should take the safest route to the
designated Emergency Assembly Area to be accounted for and await further direction.
