2023 Annual Security Report

22 2023 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT outside doors locked at all times. Visitors are not permitted beyond the lobby area and must be hosted while in the lobby. A university staff member is assigned the responsibility of monitoring behavior and security. TYPES OF ON-CAMPUS HOUSING Students offered housing on-campus, generally speaking, have a choice of two different lifestyles: Double Single Gender and Coeducational. In double single gender, both sexes reside in the same building but do not have the same weekday visitation privileges offered in co-ed housing. Coeducational housing allows men and women to live on the same floor of a residence hall but on separate wings. A high percentage of the rooms assigned to students are double rooms banked off a central corridor or designed into a suite or apartment style residence hall. The remaining rooms are singles, triples and quads. Common single gender assigned baths are located on each wing or central to a single gender floor. Married and single parent housing is available on a limited basis. Please contact Housing and Residence Life at (610) 683-4027 with questions. POLICIES FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING CHANGES AND ASSIGNMENTS Students under the age of 18 may not elect to live in a coeducational hall without approval of their parents. 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. 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, he or she 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 determination whether the student is missing in accordance with 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 made the determination that the student is missing.
