Campus Safety and Security

James Sprunt Community College seeks to provide an atmosphere of openness for the encouragement of collegiate activity on campus facilities. However, this policy of promoting openness must be balanced by controls designed to promote security on campus facilities.

The President is primarily responsible for campus security and the Director of Public Safety & Security is responsible for campus safety.

Statistics on campus crime are gathered and annually published in a document entitled “Annual Security Report”. This report is posted in the McGowen Building and is available in the Office of the Director of Public Safety & Security. It can also be found on the website at www.jamessprunt.edu.

Emergency Services

Security and the Vice President of Student Services are the primary First Responders. They respond to campus emergencies such as injury, illness, fire,
tornadoes, etc. In the event of an emergency, students and campus visitors should follow the instructions of college officials. In addition, emergency instructions are posted throughout the campus.

Student On-Campus Parking Procedures

Vehicle Parking Stickers

All JSCC students (including on-campus Continuing Education students) must have a parking sticker on their vehicle while on JSCC campus. In order to obtain a parking sticker, students must go to the Student Activities office and see the SGA Advisor. The sticker must be visible, attached on the outside of the rear glass in the bottom left corner. Failure to do so may result in a student not being allowed to park on campus grounds. If a parking sticker is lost, misplaced, or stolen, $5.00 must be paid for a duplicate at the Business Office and the receipt returned to the Student Activities office.

Traffic Regulations

Students are expected to drive carefully, courteously and abide by all North Carolina and James Sprunt Community College traffic regulations while on campus. A speed limit of 15 miles per hour will be observed by all vehicles while on campus. Students are expected to display the JSCC parking tag at all times.

Children on Campus

Children are not allowed in classes, classrooms, or labs even when accompanied by a parent. Children are also not allowed in a reception area unaccompanied by a parent or left unsupervised while a parent is in class. If a child is brought to a class, the instructor has the right to ask the student to leave the class.

Pets On Campus

Employees and students may not bring live animals on campus. If there should be circumstances when any live animals are to be brought to campus for any reason, advanced approval should be received from the President’s Office. In accordance with federal and state law, individuals with disabilities may be accompanied by their service animal while on campus.
