Southeastern is committed to the enforcement of maintaining a tobacco and vape free campus to the health benefit of its students and employees.<\/h2>\n

University Policy and State Law <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Oklahoma Executive Order signed by Governor Mary Fallin on February 6, 2012, prohibits the use of all tobacco products on state-owned and state-leased property beginning at the latest August 6, 2012. On December 23, 2013 and executive order was also signed to add e-cigarettes and vaping devices to the order.<\/span><\/p>\n

This tobacco-free\/vape-free campus environment includes any and all Southeastern owned, leased, rented, or maintained property including but not limited to buildings, facilities, sidewalks, roadways, parking lots, and grounds. Campus also includes all University owned, leased, or rented vehicles. Campus may not include any owned properties which are leased to third parties under long-term leases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Possession of tobacco and vape products does not constitute \u201cuse\u201d on campus. However, all residence halls are maintained as tobacco-free environments. Therefore, all tobacco products (including cigarettes, chewing tobacco, etc) and paraphernalia (including water pipes, hookah pipes, etc.) is prohibited within the residence hall and within the immediate vicinity of all residence halls.<\/span><\/p>\n
