Alice Lloyd College is a relatively safe and secure campus and community environment in which to attend classes and/or work. However, crimes do occur and it is necessary to provide you with the following policies, recommendations, and information regarding your personal safety and the security of your possessions while you are on our campus.


Alice Lloyd College employs and trains its own First Response Team. First Response Team Members are on duty twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, should you need information regarding your personal safety and/or security; you are encouraged to call your Dorm Directors/Resident Advisors or Campus Security Personnel.

In general, campus buildings are open for your use Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Many of the buildings and classrooms are open on Saturdays and Sundays on a limited time frame.


Residence halls are open until curfew as detailed in your student handbook. Residents returning late at night may call or stop by the Pippa Passes Police/Security Office to make arrangements for an escort from Lot X or Lot C.


If you observe or are told of a crime of any nature, you are strongly urged to report it at once to the First Response Team on duty.


If you are a victim of theft or vandalism in your residence hall, report it at once to your Dorm Director or Resident Assistant. They will make a concerted effort to help you as much as they are able. However, you have the main responsibility to safeguard your possessions by keeping them locked up and by locking your room when you are out. It is also helpful to label items and make note of serial numbers for future identification.


NO student or employee is to bring any alcoholic beverage or illegal drugs to the campus.


Possession, use or sale of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs will be referred to the appropriate campus official and all disciplinary action administered as outlined in your student handbook.


Firearms, air/gas guns, and fireworks of any kind are forbidden in the residence halls or on campus. All weapons must be surrendered to the Pippa Passes Police Department. The College reserves the right to confiscate firearms and fireworks and take appropriate action. Firearm and fire code violations are viewed as major violations.


Time is devoted in student orientation and in employee interviews explaining the position that Alice Lloyd College takes regarding these policies.


Help Us to Help You

Smoking Materials
Tobacco use of any type is not allowed in any building on the Alice Lloyd Campus. Violation of this will result in disciplinary action as determined by the Dean of Students. Designated smoking areas are available. Use ashtrays, not paper cups and make certain cigarettes are properly extinguished when discarded. Do not litter grounds with cigarette butts. This is the # 1 cause of fatal fires in the United States.

Evacuations and Fire Drills
For your safety each semester the student services staff conducts fire drills for the residence halls. Students are to follow the evacuation route posted on the inside of their rooms and vacate the dorm immediately.

Fire Safety Equipment
It's there to protect YOU! That includes fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors and heat detectors. If you have any question about their use -or experience an apparent problem - contact your first response team member immediately. Do not attempt to correct a problem yourself! If this equipment is not available, you and your friends will be nearly defenseless if a fire should start. Also, causing false alarms will jeopardize other students and faculty/staff members.

Candles
They may set the mood, but they will destroy your property and our property. Use of candles in Residence Halls is a violation of housing regulations.

Decorations
Just imagine flaming material falling from the ceiling. Don't place decorations on the ceilings. Materials on the ceilings may also impede the activations of smoke and heat detection equipment. Wall and ceiling decorations will increase the speed of fire spread. Limit decorations to a maximum of 25% of the available wall space, which equates to an area about 8"x8". If uncertain about regulations, please consult your resident advisor.

Cooking in Rooms
It's been done before! Students wound up burning more than their food. Use microwaves with caution. Unapproved devices must be removed.

Electrical Appliances
Use them only for what they are designed and sold for. If you notice they aren't working, get them fixed or don't use them. Don't leave them on or plugged in when you aren't there.

Outlets, Switches and Lamps
If they belong to the room and not to you, submit a Repair Request so that problems can be corrected immediately.

Overloaded Outlets
They can take just so much, then they can overheat and become a fire hazard, Trying to push too much electricity through too small a wire causes heat. Heat causes fires. It's just that simple. Use only multiple outlet boxes with built-in circuit breakers.


Trash
Every building has trash containers. Don't allow trash to accumulate in rooms or corridors. Never empty ashtrays into the trash.

Prevention
Crime prevention is everyone's responsibility. Interested members of the College Community can contact the Pippa Passes Police Department/Security Office for further information. Steps that can be taken to help reduce crime include:

    Personal Property:
        -Identify all personal property by marking and keeping a safe personal inventory of all marked items.
        -Keep residence halls, rooms, and office doors locked.
        -Keep bicycles chained and locked.


    Personal Safety:
        -Be alert to dangerous situations or suspicious activities. Report them as soon as possible to a First Response Team
          Member.
        -When contacting the First Response Team Member give as much detail as possible regarding event or suspicion.


    ID Cards:
        ID cards are issued to all members of the Alice Lloyd College community, identified as either resident or commuter classification; full or part time status. These students are issued an appropriate identification card at registration.

    Resident students will be asked at anytime to present ID's for meals and event attendance. Students may be requested to produce ID upon request of a member of the Campus Security Department or other authorized agents of the College. Refusal or failure to produce your ID card may result in referral to the Dean of Students.


    Life Safety:

        As stated in the Student and Faculty Handbook at Alice Lloyd College, the abuse of any
        life safety equipment in any campus building or facility is a serious violation of College policy.

        Abuse of any life safety equipment is also a violation of state and federal law.

        Life Safety Equipment is defined but not limited to:
            -Fire alarms
            -Smoke and Heat Detectors
            -Fire extinguishers
            -Alarm panels
            -Locks
            -Emergency exits
            -Directional or Warning Signs
            -Street Signs
            -Safety Lighting
            -First Aid Kits or other Emergency Kits

Fire/Life Safety Equipment

All dorms are equipped with fire extinguishers located in the hall way of each wing and accessible to all rooms. Each dormitory room is equipped with a smoke detector. It is the responsibility of students to ensure that all life safety equipment is not tampered with in any manner. Students are encouraged to properly use fire extinguishers when warranted for fire safety. If you are uncertain how to properly use the extinguisher contact your RA, Dorm Director or Campus Security. If you suspect there is a problem with your extinguisher, contact Campus Security immediately. If you have cause to discharge your extinguisher for fire control you must immediately advise your RA and the Campus Security Office to report the fire and use of the extinguisher. If a dorm extinguisher is missing, discharged for other than a fire or a non-reported fire, or tampered with in any way to cause the extinguisher to be inoperable unavailable for emergency use, the violator will be referred to the Dean of Students for appropriate action.

False fire alarms and willful damaging of any life safety equipment is not only an inconvenience to fellow students but constitutes a real danger. Fire extinguishers, pull stations, alarm bells, smoke and heat detectors and alarm panels are in place for your safety. Use of these systems for other than fire emergencies; or abuse of these systems; or the intentional causing of a false fire alarm will result in a fine and possible dismissal from College housing. (Tampering includes moving, modifying, obstructing or in anyway altering life safety equipment.)

Open fire is not permitted in any residence hall or campus building. The intentional setting of any fire which is not authorized or designed for a recognized and accepted purpose and practiced with proper safety precautions in effect, will result in the filing of conduct charges.

The use of extension cords and multiple outlet plug adapters (Octopus Cords) is strictly prohibited. Power strips with overload circuit protectors may be used. No hot plates or electrical cooking devices are permitted, with the exception of a microwave. All electrical appliances (includes refrigerators) must be approved by the student services office.

Any items that may be confiscated, as indicated above, will be held for safekeeping until the owner claims it for removal from campus. Such items may be claimed at the Student Services Office during business hours. Failure to claim these items at the conclusion of the current school year will forfeit rights to the item and the College will dispose of them as appropriate. Any items that are confiscated which are illegal will be disposed of in an appropriate manner.


Fire and General Evacuation

If a fire condition is discovered in a building you should take the following action:

    1. Immediately evacuate the building. As you leave, notify other occupants. Activate a fire alarm pull station.
    2. Close room and/or hallway and stairwell doors as you evacuate.
    3. Once you leave the building, do not re-enter for any reason.

The purpose of any evacuation is to empty a building or area of all occupants as quickly and safely as possible.

    1. In most cases that require evacuation of a building (fire, explosion, bomb threat), occupants should proceed to a clear or safe location away from the building, but where they can be accounted for. First Response Team members may direct you to other locations. Please comply with their requests in order to effect a safe evacuation.
    2. Evacuation of persons with disabilities will be given the highest priority. They will be evacuated by the most expeditious and safe means available. If you are aware of person(s) with disabilities in your building who require assistance, please notify a First Response Team member.
    3. When evacuating the building, do not run. Walk and remain quiet. Be observant to your surroundings and know a second means of escape from your building in the event that your primary route is obstructed.
    4. Occupants, once outside the building, should congregate with co-workers to make sure that everyone has evacuated safely. If you discover that someone is unaccounted for, notify a First Response Team member.

Intentional evading or refusal to evacuate will result in notice of violation. In residence
halls, the Resident Assistants and/or First Response Team members will go room to room to ensure that evacuation of the residence hall is completed and evacuation procedures are followed.


Alcohol and Drugs

Alice Lloyd College does not permit the use of or the possession of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs on "campus". Improper use of any drug(s) will not be tolerated. Violators will be
disciplined. If the College determines that a student violates this policy, that student will be

Any vehicle on the campus (whether registered or not) may be towed at the owner's expense and liability. Continued disregard of the stated rules and regulations related to parking regulations and vehicle registration guidelines may result in the loss of driving privileges.


Parking on Campus

All Alice Lloyd College students are assigned parking by the number of cumulative hours they have obtained. Roadside parking is designated for commuter students and staff, except between the hours of 5 :30 p.m. to 11 :00 p.m. Monday through Friday. In each parking area there will be
several parking spaces marked off in yellow. These spaces are for faculty, staff and maintenance only. Students will be ticketed for "wrong area" if discovered in one of these spaces.

Alice Lloyd College assumes no responsibility or risk for any vehicle, its occupants or property contained therein or thereon, while parked or driven on Alice Lloyd College property.

Traffic Regulations

All roadways on campus are fire lanes to ensure that emergency vehicles have access to all buildings and residence halls. Motor vehicles parked on or along fire lanes may be towed off campus at the owner's expense and liability.

Because the Alice Lloyd campus is primarily residential, there is a considerable amount of pedestrian traffic, which necessitates a strict policy toward traffic enforcement. Persons violating these policies may have traffic charges filed against them and may also be subject to disciplinary action through the student services office and/or remanded to the Knott County District Court in Hindman, Kentucky. The action taken may include the loss of campus driving privileges, a fine, social probation, a combination of penalties, or suspension from the College.

All Kentucky State vehicle and traffic laws will be enforced on campus and Campus Security Officers will issue tickets for violations when necessary. Alice Lloyd College reserves the right to alter or change any or all the above stated regulations as needed. Students will be given ample notice of such changes.

Appeals of Parking

Appeals of parking violations must be made within seven days at Student Services office between 8:00 am-4:30 pm Monday-Friday. Failure to file an appeal within this seven day period will result in the loss of the right to appeal the violation or associated fine. Persistent violators may have their campus registration revoked, and their vehicles may be towed off campus at the registrant's expense and liability.

Visitors and Temporary Registration

Temporary Registration will be available to members of the College community who may find it necessary to have an unregistered vehicle on campus for unforeseen or special circumstances (i.e. due to vehicle service or other similar circumstances).

Visitors with automobiles will be assigned a temporary parking place while they are on campus.
