If you are involved in a matter with Campus Safety, about 99% of the time some form of report is created. This is often in conjunction with Community Living, Keene Police, or Keene Fire creating some form of a report. Once finished, this report is reviewed and sent to various offices on campus for their involvement, to ensure you are both supported, and in the case of a conduct concern, held accountable. Under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the college is restricted in sharing information with a parent or guardian.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), also restricts what information can and can’t be shared; however, the College will notify the student’s emergency contact as needed.

Campus Safety provides an escort service, via vehicle and on foot, 24/7 to on-campus locations only, except for emergency medical care, and select off-campus locations such as Keene Police, MCVP, Urgent Care.

Have your professor or your program administrative assistant submit an ‘Access Request’ form to Campus Safety. Once that has been received, we will process the request within 72 hours (weekends and holidays not included). You would use your owl card to get into the building.

Students, staff, and faculty can register their bicycles at no cost. This will not only provide the registration information to the college but also to the City of Keene. Registering your bike helps increase the chances of it getting back to you, and it’s free! Visit the registration form here
