Analysis

Reading the policy

North Country Community College is a multi-campus SUNY community college sponsored by Essex and Franklin Counties. Its Timely Warning and Emergency Notification policy is institution-specific: alerts are required for Clery Act crimes that present a serious or continuing threat; alerts may also cover non-Clery crimes and non-criminal emergencies such as weather, maintenance, and environmental health issues; Emergency Notifications are required for significant emergencies posing an immediate health or safety threat; labeled products include Crime Alert, Safety Alert, Emergency Notification, and Information Bulletin; scope generally covers three campus locations and adjoining streets but allows notices outside that area when community impact is likely; employees and students who learn of warranting information should notify the Administrator-on-Call; issuance is at the discretion of a listed set of title holders including President, AVP of Student Affairs, communications leadership, and others. This record documents the institution-specific Clery timely warning and emergency notification policy rather than a full ASR rewrite.
