Campus Security
Security is everyone’s responsibility. It is essential that questionable incidents, unlocked doors or windows, suspicious activity, or emergencies be reported on campus. Such reports should be made by dialing 865.981.8112 and not the local police. This line is monitored by Campus Safety and Security 24-hours a day. Local law enforcement authorities monitor all campus security radio transmissions and are available to assist on the campus at the request of safety and security personnel. In order to assist in maintaining an orderly and safe campus environment, students must observe the following security measures:
- Do not enter locked rooms or buildings.
- Comply with all reasonable and lawful requests or directions of members of the faculty, administrative staff, residence hall staff, and other College employees fulfilling their duties.
- Do not provide false information to faculty, administrative staff, residence hall staff, and other College employees fulfilling their duties.
- Carry College ID at all times and show College ID cards when requested to do so by an official of the College or a member of the residence hall staff. In cases of disruptive behavior on campus, and when the security of members of the campus community and/or College property is threatened, Safety and Security officers will be called and are authorized to immediately remove from campus those persons involved in such activity. Individuals removed from campus will be officially informed of the reason for such action and may be banned from campus.
- Do not prop open residence hall doors.
