Campus Safety

 

Emory & Henry College has been ranked as one of the safest institutions of higher learning in the nation and the College remains committed to providing a safe learning environment for its students, employees, and visitors.

Campus Alert System

The Emory & Henry College Campus Alert System allows students, parents, faculty and staff to receive updates and campus-wide alerts on users' cell phones, PDAs and email. Students, parents and employees are encouraged to register. In the event of a campus-wide emergency College officials use the alert system to communicate important information.

Campus Police

Campus police and security officers are College employees who report to the Dean of Students, and are duly authorized law enforcement officers of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Campus police officers have jurisdiction on the main campus, all college property owned or leased, and on public streets and roads. The major responsibility of campus police officers is to give attention to every situation which might involve the safety and welfare of students and employees of the College.

Rankings & Reports

The College provides annual reports for the Campus Crime and Security Survey that is required by the U.S. Department of Education. This information includes crime data and information on campus safety resources.

Inclement Weather Policy
