Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications

Timely warnings are announcements made to alert the campus community about Clery Act crimes and other serious incidents in the event that a reported crime may pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus and surrounding community.

Announcements will be made to inform the campus community about a “significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on the campus.” An emergency response expands upon the definition of “timely warning,” as it includes both Clery Act crimes and other types of emergencies (examples: a fire, infectious disease outbreak, terrorist attack, natural disaster, weather emergency).

The Title IX coordinator and campus police work collaboratively with various offices on campus to develop, implement and oversee programs that ensure the college’s overall compliance with the Clery Act and associated regulations.
