College Safety and Security

Vernon College strives to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere for members of the student body, faculty, staff, and the general public so they are not unreasonably concerned for their personal safety. The College, as with any other public or private entity, cannot guarantee a crime-free living or working environment. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of members of the college community to act in a security-conscious manner, and to avoid actions that jeopardize their security as well as the security of others.

Student Services provides information to students on crime prevention, a mass notification system, and safety awareness during orientation. This information as well as literature provided by the College, encourages the campus community to adopt safe behaviors. All Vernon College locations may be subject to electronic surveillance. In case of emergency, a Vernon College Vice President or Dean should be contacted as well as the campus switchboard operator.

Campus security policy and procedures are available via the Vernon College website at www.vernoncollege.edu or by contacting Student Services at (940) 552-6291 ext. 2272.
