Campus crime and security issues are very minimal due to careful and thorough campus security measures. Campus security and Cincinnati Police officers patrol the campus regularly.  CCU is also protected by the use of security cameras that monitor activity on campus. Students living on campus are given access codes to the main door of their residence hall.  They may also contact Campus Security to be admitted to the hall and proper identification is required.  The residence halls and other campus buildings have an announced closing hour during the year, exceptions to the posted times must be approved by either the Student Life Office or Hall Coordinators in advance of a scheduled event.  

Campus security is the responsibility of the entire CCU community.  It is therefore important for members of the community to report any and all questionable incidents. Crimes that occur on campus are to be reported immediately to the Director of Safety and Security (513.244.8437). Victims or witnesses of criminal activities are directed to complete an Incident Report, which details the facts surrounding the crime.  Report forms are available in the Safety & Security office, through residential staff, or in the Student Life office. In cases involving violation of local, state, or federal laws, the Cincinnati Police are notified for appropriate follow up. The University cooperates fully with any investigations conducted by proper authorities.  In the event of a crime that poses a threat to the campus community, notice is made through the University’s regular announcement sheet and bulletins placed in high traffic areas of the campus and the Rave Alert system.

 

RAVE ALERT SYSTEM

The RAVE Alert System  allows CCU students, family, friends, as well as faculty, staff and administration to receive emergency text, voice, and email notifications. The system allows a “CCU Alert” to be sent to your cell phone as a text-message, an e-mail to your e-mail address, and/or a voicemail message if you choose.
 
This System is meant to be used for emergency and significant event notification only.  The message may alert you to an emergency situation such as weather warnings including flash flood, severe thunderstorm, winter storm, and tornado warnings, as well as school closings and emergencies on the campus.  The messages are short and meant only as an initial notification.  For more detailed information, CCU uses redundant systems of emergency notification such as message notification via telephone, CCU Webpage, e-mail, radio, and person-to person contact to distribute news and instructions during an emergency.
