Visitors (individuals who are not officially enrolled or employed by HutchCC) are welcome on Hutchinson Community College (HutchCC) campuses and properties.

HutchCC seeks to provide an environment that is conducive to study and work and, therefore, HutchCC will take reasonable steps to protect the student and work environment of HutchCC. HutchCC is also concerned with the health, safety, and liability issues associated with children on HutchCC properties.

Visitor Expectations

Visitors on campus are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with all federal and state laws and regulations, and conduct themselves in a manner consistent with all HutchCC Policies and Procedures. Any violations of these laws and/or policies and procedures could result in corrective action taken by HutchCC.

Child-Age Campus Visitors

Parents/guardians are responsible for the behavior of their children on HutchCC campuses and properties. Parents/guardians are required to provide reasonable supervision for their children in accordance with all federal and state laws and regulations, and all HutchCC Policies and Procedures. Children with an illness that prevents them from going to a childcare facility or from attending school should not be brought to HutchCC campuses. Parents/guardians whose children engage in any disruptive or destructive behavior may be referred for possible College conduct action.

Classroom Visitors

Only registered students are allowed in the HutchCC classrooms during official class periods. College employees on official business, along with their guests, are allowed to visit HutchCC classrooms upon approval from the instructor. Any other exceptions must be approved by the instructor and appropriate supervisor and/or their designee. If the instructor, in their discretion, and/or a registered student find(s) the non-registered person's presence in their classroom disruptive, the instructor may ask the non-registered person to leave for the remainder of the class period and the disruption shall be communicated to the appropriate supervisor and/or their designee.

Office or Workspace Visitors

Visitors in offices or workplaces should conform to expected office norms. If a visitor does not conform to office norms, such that the visitor's presence is deemed disruptive or potentially disruptive to the productivity of the employees, an appropriate College employee should ask the visitor to leave the area and the disruption should be documented.
