Community use of College facilities by groups, organizations, business, and industry is encouraged. The Office of the Executive Vice President for Instruction and Student Services will coordinate the scheduling of all events using College facilities. That office will make the final decisions about availability, location, need for supervision, and permission for serving alcohol when requested. In scheduling the use of College facilities, the administration will give priority to College programs and functions.

Only events that will not produce undue wear and tear on the facilities will be permitted. The College reserves the right to exercise judgment on who may or may not use the facilities and schedule events according to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Alcoholic beverages may be permitted for College-related and/or cultural activities with prior approval. Any function where alcoholic beverages are served must be supervised by a DACC administrator or another employee approved by the President or Executive Vice President for Instruction and Student Services and must include proof of appropriate permits and insurance coverage.
