Polices Policies and Procedures
Safety and Accessibility
Maintaining safety on campus is the responsibility of every member of the university community. Some resources that can help you in this effort are listed below. Faculty members should provide these links to students by mentioning them in class, including them in the course syllabus, and posting them on course websites. Additionally, all faculty members should discuss classroom emergency information with their students for each individual classroom or laboratory where they teach. Individual faculty, staff, and students should know the appropriate actions to take when an emergency arises.
