Prohibition of Concealed Carry on Moraine Valley Community College Campus

Moraine Valley Community College has been designated as a “Protected Area” by statute (IL. Public Act 98-0063) and prohibits the carrying of any concealed firearms on any owned or leased facility operated or control by Moraine Valley Community College, by persons designated as “Non-Law Enforcement”. Board Policy #6539 also restricts the carrying of firearms in any campus owned or leased vehicles by persons designated as Non-Law Enforcement. As provided by statute, all weapons must be stored within the owner’s vehicles or lockers provided within the lobby of the Moraine Valley Police department on the Palos Hills campus. Those possessing weapons at the Tinley Park campus must store them within their locked vehicles or surrender them to the “on duty” Moraine Valley police officer for safe storage. Attendees at the Blue Island Center may store their weapons within their personal vehicle in those public parking areas near the campus, but may never enter the building while armed. Persons who violate these procedures are subject to arrest and expulsion/termination from Moraine Valley Community College.
