I. Policy
Quincy College will immediately notify the campus upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on campus.
Anyone with information warranting an emergency notification should report the circumstances to Police by dialing 911 or Public Safety at 857-225-1934.
II. Procedure
Upon confirmation by the President of the College (or his designee) or the Quincy or Plymouth Police Departments that an event is currently occurring on or imminently threatening the campus, Quincy College will issue an emergency notification. The notification will be issued through the college e-mail system; text to students, faculty, and staff; on the College’s website (http://quincycollege.edu); and/or via TV monitors on campus.
These notifications will be prepared and approved by the President of the College and distributed to the community by the IT, Public Safety, and Marketing Departments. If the President of the College or his designee deems necessary, given the immediate circumstances of the crime, more immediate notification may be required. In this situation, the President or his designee will coordinate with the Office of Information Technology for additional methods of dissemination.
