Policy on Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act

A federal law went into effect in 1990 entitled the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act, Title II, Public Law 1012-542. Under the provisions of Title II of the act, known as the Campus Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, colleges and universities are required to publish and distribute information on campus security policies and procedures and campus crime statistics. In complying with this federal requirement, National Louis University collects information regarding any criminal offenses that might have occurred at all University locations. 

Results

National Louis University seeks to position its facilities in convenient, safe locations. This is a prime consideration as new space is either leased or purchased.

In addition, policies are established and safety precautions are taken to ensure that the possibility of criminal offenses is diminished. For specific information contact the Office of Student Experience. 

Safety and Security

Students are required to carry their ID card when present on one of the campuses or at a class function sponsored by the University, and must surrender it upon request by a University official. The card is not transferable and is the property of the University. Information and policies pertaining to parking; physical facilities; and property, personal, and physical safety are found in the section Student Information. 

Statements of policy concerning the possession, use, or selling of alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs are found in the Standards of Conduct and the Campus Policies sections of this catalog. The Policy on Inspection, Search and Seizure, reinforces the commitment of this institution in attending to the above policies. Disciplinary actions that National Louis University may impose for violations of University policies are found in Student Hearing and Appeal System. Policies pertaining to disruptive behavior are found in Policy on Disruptive Classroom Behavior.

Programs such as alcohol/drug awareness, presentations on safety precautions, campus safety policies, and crisis intervention procedures for non-counseling situations are offered frequently. Consult with the Office of Student Experience for further information. 

Incident Reporting

If anyone should know of or see a violation of University policy taking place, please report it to Campus Administration or the Office of Student Affairs immediately. Incident Report forms are available online. Criminal offenses should be reported to the local police immediately, as well as to the Vice President for Operations.
