Building Security
To maintain security, academic buildings are locked at 10:00 p. m. and unlocked at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday. They are closed on Saturday and Sunday except during scheduled activities. If you should need access to non-residential buildings after hours, you must have written permission by an authorized faculty or staff person and present this to the Security Office. Security will not permit less than two people at a time inside a building at any given time after hours and on weekends.
Criminal Activity Off-Campus
Huntingdon College enjoys and strives to maintain constructive, harmonious relationships with the residents of Montgomery and neighboring communities. Students must respect the rights and property of those who live and work in these communities. Students who violate this principle and/or whose behavior jeopardizes the College’s positive relationship with local communities may, if applicable, be subject to criminal/civil prosecution. The College will also take disciplinary action separately from any civil or criminal proceedings and will not be subject to challenge on the grounds that criminal charges involving the same off-campus incident are in litigation or have been dismissed.
Escort System
Campus Security provides an escort service for those who are traveling across campus at night and for those who have suffered injury, etc. You may call extension 4463 to request a Security Officer escort.
