Also, the University may identify and by appropriate signage designate certain areas in which riding of any particular type of riding device is prohibited (e.g., it may designate certain pedestrian pathways as off - limits for skateboard riding because risk of personal injury are heightened due to steep grades or congestion). Persons riding such devices shall comply with all official traffic control devices and signs including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. Device users may dismount and carry their devices across any pedestrian accessible area in which riding of such devices is prohibited. • Every person operating a riding device in any pedestrian accessible area shall yield the right of way to pedestrians at all times. • Every person riding a device shall ride their device in a controlled manner and shall exercise due care and reasonable caution to prevent injury to others, to self, or to property. Individuals using such devices upon the campus of Kutztown University do so at their own risk. • Riding devices may not be operated two or more abreast on any pedestrian pathway, except as part of a university approved competition or function. KU Alert Emergency Messaging Systems In the event of an emergency, timely and accurate communication of information is critical. Current students’ primary mobile phone number on record with KU will receive emergency text alerts automatically* via KU’s mass text message warning system powered by Omnilert. You can customize your account to add an additional mobile number (e.g., for your parents) and email address. Kutztown University has developed a plan for emergency communication that utilizes multiple and redundant methods of communication and notification, in order to maximize the effectiveness and reach of the emergency information. For more information, please visit www.kutztown.edu/KUAlert. *If desired, you may opt out of receiving these important text alerts by logging into the Omnilert portal with your KU credentials. Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services The Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services offices are responsible for all aspects of students’ residence on campus. The programs are designed to meet students’ needs on the physical, emotional, interpersonal, and educational levels. Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services staff manage nine traditional halls, two suite-style halls, and two apartment-style villages which accommodate approximately 4,100 students. Each residence hall is managed and supervised by a Graduate Resident Director. There are 225-300 student staff serving as Desk Receptionists and Community Assistants to assist in providing a safe, congenial, and educationally supportive environment within the residence halls. Each staff team works with the residents of the hall to develop a strong sense of community within each hall; to explore personal and academic interests which enhance out-of-classroom learning; to develop strong interpersonal skills within a diverse population, and to plan and execute activities in which residents have an opportunity to develop leadership potential. Members of the Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to address questions, and refer students to the appropriate services when special needs arise. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the services and support that these staff members provide while making their residency a positive living-learning experience. The
