A Resource You Can Rely On

Campus Safety provides many services to support the College community. 

Campus Safety offers free bicycle registration for members of the ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø community.

Once the form is completed, a decal will be placed on the bicycle, clearly marking it and deterring theft. A copy of the registration form will be on file with Campus Safety, and the owner will retain a copy. Bicycle registration is an important prevention tool, and in the unfortunate event that the bicycle is stolen, the information can be shared with the police.

Campus Safety responds to requests for building access from members of the College community.

Call 610-526-7911 for assistance.

The Campus Safety Department has developed these parking regulations to provide adequate parking and safe driving conditions.

The regulations' objectives are to define parking areas, provide for safe traffic movement, and ensure emergency vehicles' access to all roads and parking lots.

We assist the College community in making referrals to other campus resources. 

Requests from students to be let into their room or residence hall will be completed in a timely manner. Dispatchers are to advise students that lockouts are a low priority but important, so they may anticipate a delayed response. 

The Campus Safety officer is required to ask to see the room key. If the student advises that the key is lost there will be a $50 charge for Facilities to change the core.

All exterior lockouts received after 10 p.m. and during periods of low occupancy (breaks, holidays, etc.) should be given a high priority to insure student’s safety.

Learn more about the Resident Student Lockout Policy.

There are many dorm safety meetings/hangouts during the academic year (formerly called "Safe-Teas") where Hall Advisors (HAs) and/or Dorm Leadership Teams (DLTs) invite Campus Safety to discuss safety issues on campus or within the dormitory. Campus Safety Officers exchange ideas and information, including safety awareness topics, to students, such as sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, alcohol awareness, identity theft, and social media hot topics.

Forming a partnership with the students is an essential goal of the department and benefits the entire community.

Students are strongly encouraged to come together to participate and contribute since this is an open forum-type discussion.

Campus Safety offers self-defense classes to the ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø community.

Campus Safety provides certified instructors of the R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) Systems is an international program designed explicitly for women. The program involves a two-fold process combining education and practical self-defense techniques for women only. This system is taught at over 350 colleges and universities.

The objective is to "Develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked."

²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø Emergency Medical Service (BMCEMS) is a student-led and student-staffed volunteer organization dedicated to providing ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø with the highest-quality medical care.
