Flagler College has an emergency notification system called e2Campus.  Sign up is voluntary, but we strongly encourage you to do so if you have not signed up already.  This system will allow you to sign up for notification of any campus emergency to your cell phone via text message, and/or to an e-mail account.  It also allows you select up to 2 other cell phones or e-mail addresses for notification of a campus emergency. Please consider signing up a parent or guardian in addition to yourself.
 
All you need to do is go to http://www.e2campus.com/my/flag/ and click on “I need to create an Account.”  Fill out the fields and click “Create Account” and you are all set.  The system will send a confirming message to your phone and/or e-mail account and you need to reply to the message per the instructions.  It is very easy to do.  Please note the “Opt-out By” field.  This was done with students in mind, but is a required field.  Faculty and staff should select the date furthest out.  Within the next couple of days, there will be a “No Opt-Out” option, which will keep your account active until you deactivate it by logging into your account.  If you wish to set up your account now, please do so and check back in later to change it to “No Opt-Out.”
 
Please take the time to do this so we may notify you of any emergencies on campus.

THE ROLE OF SECURITY: The Security Office, in the chain of command, falls under the Vice President of Business Services and is responsible for the security and safety of the entire campus community as well as visitors to the campus and all College property and equipment. Security is also responsible for seeing that College regulations and restrictions as well as legal statutes are observed.

The Security Office also maintains and makes available campus crime statistics. This annual report can be obtained three ways: in print at the security office, and online on the Flagler College website and on the U.S. Department of Education website.

Security personnel cooperate and work with all College offices in all matters concerning the wellbeing of students, faculty and staff, and their guests.

Unauthorized persons are not allowed on campus at any time. All guests must be registered with Security or Student Services. In order to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the residence halls, and for the security of resident students, all egress and access doors are locked at all times, and a current card key is necessary to gain entrance. It is against College regulations to prop open any doors, again to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining entry. The main classroom building locks down at 6 p.m., and access may be gained only with a current ID card; the same holds true for the library and the art studio classrooms.

Any incident should be reported to the Security Office where an incident report will be filled out and the appropriate law enforcement agency notified if needed.

In the event of an injury or sickness, the Security Office should be notified at once. Security has a direct link to the police dispatcher and therefore to EMS and the fire department.

Safety and Security policies are provided in the Student Handbook.
