University of Nebraska - Lincoln
PA-14: Wellness Program

Part 1. Wellness program

Institution has a wellness and/or employee assistance program that makes available counseling, referral, and wellbeing services to students and/or employees.

Part 2. Smoke-free environments

Institution prohibits smoking (as defined by the institution) within all occupied buildings that it owns or leases, and either:

1. Restricts outdoor smoking (e.g., by designating smoking areas or smoke-free spaces), OR

2. Prohibits smoking and tobacco use across the entire campus.

Policies adopted by entities of which the institution is part (e.g., government or university system) may count for this credit as long as the policies apply to and are followed by the institution.

This credit applies to all institutions.

Each part is scored independently.

Part 1

An institution earns the maximum of 0.5 points available for Part 1 of this credit for making counseling, referral, and wellbeing services available to all members of the campus community. Partial points are available based on the number of groups for whom the institution makes wellness services available. For example, an institution that makes wellness services available to all academic and non-academic staff, but not to students, would earn 0.33 points (two-thirds of the points available for Part 1).

Part 2

An institution earns the maximum of 0.5 points available for Part 2 by prohibiting smoking and tobacco use across the entire campus. Partial points are available for prohibiting smoking indoors and restricting outdoor smoking. An institution that prohibits smoking indoors and restricts outdoor smoking earns 0.25 points (half of the points available for Part 2).
