Safety and Security
In Compliance with The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 as amended in 1992, the Elmira College Safety and Security Report is published annually. The report provides detailed information about the Elmira College Security Staff, relationships with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, crime prevention education programs, procedures for reporting crimes and other emergencies, campus resources for victims of assault, including sexual assault, fire safety, and general campus safety. Statistics concerning crimes on campus for the most recent three calendar years are included in this report. A copy of the Elmira College Safety and Security Report may be obtained from the Office of Admissions.
In compliance with Article 129-A of New York’s Education Law, the Advisory Committee on Campus Security will provide on request all campus crime statistics as reported to the United States Department of Education.
Missing Student Notification Policies and Procedures
It is the policy of Elmira College to investigate any report of a missing student who is enrolled and attending classes. This policy, with its accompanying procedures, establishes a framework for cooperation among members of the College community aimed at locating and assisting students who are reported missing.
A student will be deemed missing when reported absent from the College (including trips and athletic events) without any known reason. All reports of missing students must be directed to Elmira College’s Office of Campus Safety at 607-735-1777. Campus Safety, in collaboration with various Campus Life departments, will lead in investigating each report and make a determination whether the student is missing in accordance with this policy.
All students have the option to identify a confidential contact person or persons who will be notified within 24 hours in the event that a determination is made by the College that the student is missing. This contact information may be added through an online form through the Office of Residence Life. Only those authorized by the Vice President of Campus Life and law enforcement officers in furtherance of a missing person investigation may have access to this information.
If a missing student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, the institution will notify a custodial parent or guardian of the missing student not later than 24 hours after the determination that the student is missing.
Elmira College will contact local police and other law enforcement agencies no later than 24 hours after the institution receives a report that any student is missing.
Given the various housing options at Elmira College, there is no formal procedure or prescribed timelines for monitoring whether students are present in their assigned student housing. Student welfare and safety is paramount to Elmira College; however, the institution recognizes and makes known its limitations in obtaining accurate and timely information on the whereabouts of students.
The Office of Campus Life shall have the responsibility to make the provisions of this policy and the procedures set forth below available to students.
Procedures:
Any report of a missing student, from whatever source, must immediately be directed to the Office of Campus Safety.
When a student is reported missing the Office of Campus Safety will:
- Initiate an investigation to determine the validity of the missing person report;
- Inform the Office of Campus Life;
- Make a determination as to the status of the missing student;
- Notify local police or other appropriate law enforcement agencies within 24 hours after the institution receives a report that the student is missing;
- If the student is missing from a trip sponsored by the institution, the Office of Campus Safety, in collaboration with the staff member on the trip, will contact local law enforcement.
Upon determining the student is missing the Office of Campus Life will:
- Notify the person(s) identified by the missing student as the confidential contact within 24 hours of making the determination that the student is missing;
- If the missing student is under the age of 18, and not an emancipated individual, notify the student’s custodial parent or guardian as contained in the institutions records within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing;
- Inform Senior Officers as needed ; and
- Initiate whatever other action is deemed appropriate under the circumstances to be in the best interest of the missing student.
The Office of Campus Life shall initiate whatever action is deemed appropriate under the circumstances to be in the best interest of the missing student.
Student Contact Information:
In addition to having the option to identify a “confidential contact person” as provided in this policy, all students are asked to submit emergency contact information and update it yearly. The Office of Residence Life will verify and collect emergency contact information from residential students during fall move in.
Student Notification of This Policy:
- Included on the Campus Life and Campus Safety webpages and on the student tab in MyEC Portal.
- Discussed during mandatory housing meetings at the beginning of each semester.
- Included in the Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report.
Data:
Graduation rate and transfer out data from Elmira College is available on the Student Consumer Information Page, https://www.elmira.edu/Student/Offices_Resources/Student_Consumer_Information.html.
