The Security office at the West Windsor Campus is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is committed to providing a safe campus environment. The Security Department is also responsible for protecting college property and the enforcement of all college regulations, including parking and traffic control. The James Kerney Campus Security office provides the same services and is open during the normal operating hours of that facility. Red telephones are located at either end of hallways and vestibules throughout the campus. These telephones provide direct communication with the Security office and should be used for emergency reasons only. Campus crime statistics are available upon request.
Visitors to Campus
The College is host to many organizations and community activities throughout the year. Visitors who do not have an appointment with a specific campus official should first report to the Security Office. Visitors who are guests of current students are the responsibility of the host student and will be expected to abide by policies and procedures set forth for all students. Visitors/guests will not be permitted to enter classrooms where instruction is being provided without prior approval by the classroom instructor.
Sales, solicitation of sales, and solicitation of donations on campus by any individual, or ant organization not affiliated with the college, are strictly prohibited. Specific policy exceptions for charitable activities may be granted by the Board of Trustees or by the President.
The college only permits external agencies and community groups to use the college facilities when all of the policies and conditions established by the college (OMB-652) have been followed and written permission has been granted.
Parking Locations and Procedures
Student parking at the West Windsor Campus is available in the East and West parking lots I and II. Unless given advance authorization and permit by the Security office, use of all other parking areas is prohibited. Parking along curbs, fire zones, and loading/unloading areas is prohibited. Limited free parking is provided for students at the James Kerney Campus. Several parking garages are available in the immediate area.
