Safety
& Security
Your safety and security is important to
us. Here are some important safety tips
for the upcoming semester. Also watch
your WCC email for safety tips throughout the semester.
·
Emergency Notification Service: We encourage you to sign up for the Emergency Notification
Service in MyWCC. You will receive
timely notifications if the College is closed due to weather or other
emergency.
·
Fire: If there is a fire or other reason a building
needs to be evacuated, the fire alarm will ring. Exit the building using the nearest
stairway. Do not use elevators. Make
sure you stay at least 150 feet from the building until the all clear signal is
given.
·
Tornado: If a tornado warning is issued for the WCC
campus area, the tornado siren will activate outside and an emergency message
will broadcast throughout campus. Please
seek shelter in the closest room/area designated as a tornado shelter. If you are unable to find a marked tornado
shelter, seek shelter in an inner hallway or restroom, away from exterior
windows.
·
Property Security: Do not leave laptop computers, smart phones, tablets or other
valuables unattended. If parking on
campus, roll up your windows, lock your doors and keep personal belongings out
of sight.

office (ombudsman@wccnet.edu) as soon
as possible if they encounter medical situations that are impacting their
ability to attend classes. Options for
adjustments become limited with time.

Learning Support Services to discuss accommodations, if needed, during their
pregnancy. Additional information is

having, please be aware that I have reporting requirements that are part of my

issue of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, or gender discrimination - I am
required to bring it to the attention of the institution’s Title IX Coordinator
or Deputy Coordinator. If you would like
to talk to either of those individuals directly, they can be reached at:
