The College takes fire safety very seriously. All of our residence halls are equipped with modern alarm systems that alert residents if the possibility of a fire exists. Students are required to evacuate College-owned buildings in the event that a fire alarm sounds and must refrain from tampering with or disabling fire safety equipment. As an additional safety measure, open flames such as candles and incense burners are prohibited. Violations of fire safety policies are subject to judicial action including a fine up to $500 and/or removal from housing.
