A police officer is a police officer 24/7/365, whether they on or off duty, or whether they're on vacation or not. every police officer has an on duty and off duty gun, they can only carry their off duty guns, and can only use it if he/she or someone else is in danger.

The simple answer is, at this time, NO!
No, they cannot. Since they are not peace officers, they are not protected under HR 218, to carry off duty. They are considered conservators of peace. This means they may carry from a maximum of an hour before, and up to an hour after their duty at their facility. They must check in or lock up their sidearm before starting duty.

Sworn Illinois Police Officers are authorized by state statute to carry their weapon 24/7. In fact, many departments require that officers (while within their jurisdiction) carry their weapon and identification even while off-duty.

Yes, they can as long as it's not a private college on or off duty they are protected by the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act of 2004 (LEOSA). If it is a private college they must get permission from the administers and if there asked to take it off they have to do so.
