Campus crime prevention programs and reporting procedures shall be defined and communicated clearly to all students and employees. Criminal activity occurring at off-campus college functions (including clinical agencies) shall be monitored and recorded through communications with local law-enforcement agencies.

Timely Warning Notice

In the event that a situation arises - either on or off campus - that, in the judgment of College personnel, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus-wide "timely warning" will be issued. The warning will be issued through the College's emergency notification system, called Rave, to students, faculty and staff via college email and text. Those communications systems include, but are not limited to, the college's e-mail system and text messaging. Platt College emails are automatically subscribed to the College's Emergency Alert System once individuals are officially enrolled as a student or for employees upon official hire date. Mobile phone numbers may be added to the system if individuals elect to receive text alerts; standard messaging rates with personal phone carriers may apply.  Students and employees cannot opt out of emergency messages delivered to Platt College-issued email address; however, students and employees may unsubscribe mobile phones by texting the word STOP to 67283 or 226787.

Informational Programs Available

The Student Career Services Coordinator creates lunch and learn programs for students and employees as part of the College's commitment to campus safety.  Programs are designed to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices, to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others, and to provide information on crime prevention.
