Residence Hall Safety and Security
Residence hall exterior doors are locked around the clock. Residents have key or card access and visitors must be accompanied by the resident at all times, as well as being signed in through the Sign In Guest policy. Fines are levied for propping doors. While the College respects the personal privacy of students in its residence hall rooms, provisions are made for authorized staff designated by Assoc. VP of Student Life and Director of Public Safety to enter rooms in the event of a report or present danger and, under certain conditions, when a search for prohibited items has been authorized. Residence halls can be entered for routine maintenance or safety inspections. (Also see Campus Safety and Security Emergency Evacuation, and other policies outlined in this section and the Student Conduct Regulations and Community Judicial Code sections of this site for more detailed information).
