Security will assist students with vehicle- related problems. Occasionally there may be a situation that requires special arrangements to and from the vehicle to minimize risk or concern. Students can receive special consideration for parking or assistance to and from the vehicle if the problem is reported to security staff or to the Evening Program Director.

Report Potential Problems

Safety issues or suspicious behavior should immediately be reported to security or an OTC administrator. The report of suspicious behavior should be made to a vice president or director if security cannot be located at the time.

Parking Regulations

Parking areas for student, staff, handicapped, and visitor use have been specifically designated. Students are required to obtain a parking decal and to display the decals on all student vehicles parked on campus, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and mopeds. Illegally parked vehicles (those without parking decals or those parked in reserved areas) will be issued parking tickets by the security officers. Violations result in parking fines.

Workplace Violence

The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and Okefenokee Technical College (OTC) are committed to providing all employees, students, volunteers, visitors, vendors and contractors a safe and secure workplace and/or academic setting free of intimidating, threatening, or violent behavior. To this end, it is the policy of the TCSG and OTC that any violent act or threatening or disruptive behavior, language, or communication in any form (including telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or written communication) shall not be tolerated. Everyone shall place safety as their highest concern and shall report all acts of violence and threats of violence.
An employee who believes that he/she has been subject to workplace violence should report the matter to the immediate supervisor or on-site administrator as soon as possible after the incident. A student, volunteer, visitor, vendor or contractor who believes that he/she has been subject to workplace violence should report the matter immediately to an OTC employee as soon as possible after the incident.
