## Text

Bellevue College is an institution of higher education provided and maintained by the people of the state of Washington. The college reserves its property for activities that are related to its broad educational mission. College property is reserved primarily for educational use including, but not limited to, instruction, research, public assembly of college groups, student activities and other activities directly related to the educational mission of the college. The public character of the college does not grant to individuals an unlimited license to engage in activity which limits, substantially interferes with, or otherwise disrupts the normal activities to which the college's property is dedicated. Accordingly, the college designates common areas (e.g., building courtyards, building lobbies) of the college as a limited public forum dedicated to the use of college groups, subject to the time, place, and manner limitations and restrictions set forth in this policy.
The purpose of the time, place, and manner regulations set forth in this policy is to establish procedures and reasonable controls for the use of college property. It is intended to balance the college's responsibility to fulfill its mission as a state educational institution of Washington with the interests of college groups seeking to assemble in common areas of the campus for expressive activity. Bellevue College recognizes that college groups should be accorded the opportunity to utilize the property of the college to the fullest extent possible.
The college designates the following public use area(s) for use by noncollege groups for expressive activities on campus:
• Building C courtyard between building C and D extending east out from the fountain for groups less than 30; and
• South courtyard, just north of Carlson Theater if over 30 participants are expected.
