2026 KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 25 Please contact Residence Life, Housing and Dining Services at (610) 683-4027 with questions. Policies for On-Campus Housing Changes and Assignments Room changes due to extenuating circumstances are processed only after assessment and/or mediation by the staff of Residence Life. Incumbent resident students select their rooms and roommates for the following academic year during the room selection process held each spring. New students are assigned randomly, based on the date of receipt of the University Advance Registration Deposit and indicated lifestyle preference. Assignment to a housing space is made randomly without regard to race, creed, color, religion, or sexual orientation. The University reserves the right to make assignments, temporary assignments, consolidations, and reassignments. The University reserves the right to cancel any housing agreement and terminate a student’s housing if the conduct of the student disrupts others, disregards the rights of others or is in violation of the terms of the Housing License, municipal, state, or federal law, or the policies or regulations of the University. “Blue Light” Emergency Phones Crimes, suspicious behavior and emergencies can also be reported to KUPD through the use of “blue light” emergency phones located throughout campus in various academic buildings, residence halls and outdoor locations including parking lots and walkways. Blue light emergency phones are mounted to poles or walls and are identified by a blue light above the phone which is illuminated when darkness arrives. Once the caller picks up the phone receiver or pushes the red button, they are immediately connected with KUPD. Notification of Missing Students If a member of the university community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, they should immediately notify the Kutztown University Police Department (KUPD) at (610) 683-4001, regardless of the amount of time the person has been missing. Additionally, any reports of a missing student communicated to a Campus Security Authority are immediately referred to KUPD. All reports received from a concerned Party regarding students who are thought to be missing will result in an immediate investigation by KUPD and a determination of whether the student is missing per KU’s Missing Student Notification Policy. Should KUPD determine that the student is missing and has been missing for more than 24 hours, KU will notify the student’s Missing Student Emergency Contact no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. If the student is under 18 years of age and not emancipated, KU must and will notify a custodial parent or guardian within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing, in addition to notifying the student’s Missing Student Emergency Contact. The local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction will also be notified no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing unless the local law enforcement agency was the entity that determined that the student is missing. The full text of the Kutztown University Missing Student Notification Policy can be found at app.kutztown.edu/ policyregister/Policy/STU-034. Missing Student Emergency Contact Information Housing and Residence Life provides annual notice to all resident students regarding the Missing Student Notification Policy. All students who reside in housing owned or controlled by KU must complete an electronic Missing Student Emergency Contact Information Card during the move-in process at the beginning of the fall semester or at any time a student moves onto campus for the first time during a given academic year. This electronic card allows a student to designate an individual (other than their primary emergency contact) to be contacted by the University if the student is determined to be missing. The designation remains in effect for the academic year until changed or revoked by the student. Students may change their designation at any time by visiting Residence Life located in 106 Old Main.
