Campus Safety, Security, and Emergencies

Campus Security

The Safety & Security Department at Maryville College strives to create a safe campus environment where the pursuit of higher education can thrive. Security Officers request your assistance in helping to create that safe environment. Possible criminal activity, unlocked doors or windows, suspicious persons or activity, and any safety concerns should be reported to the security team. Such reports should be made by dialing campus security at 865-981-8112 (please call 911 in case of emergency). The security phone line is monitored by the Safety and Security Department 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. To help assist in maintaining an orderly and safe campus environment, students should observe the following security measures:

• -Do not try to enter locked rooms, buildings, or areas.
• -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 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 or significant violation of campus rules, Safety and Security officers should be called and may remove persons involved in such activity. Non-affiliated individuals removed from campus will be informed of the reason for such action and may be banned from campus. Students may be temporarily removed or otherwise restricted consistent with campus conduct policies.
• -Do not prop open outer residence hall doors, and keep your room secured (windows and doors locked) when you are not present.
• -Remove valuable possessions from your vehicle or store items in the trunk and keep the vehicle doors locked.

Campus Security Authority Incident Reporting

To assist Maryville College in complying with the federally mandated Clery Act, this form should be utilized by Campus Security Authorities (CSA) to report crimes to the Clery Coordinator as soon as possible after a crime has been reported to the CSA. Under the Clery Act, a crime is reported to a CSA when a student, employee, or third party brings information about an alleged crime to the attention of the CSA and the CSA believes the report was made in good faith. The Clery Administrator will use the information provided in this form to classify the crime for purposes of inclusion in the College’s annual crime statistics. The form is located on the main Safety & Security webpage under Forms – CSA Clery Act Reporting Form.
