University of Bridgeport “Timely Warning” Policy

In the event a situation arises that, in the judgment of the Executive Director of Campus Security, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat to the safety of members of the University community, a “timely warning” will be issued.

A warning will be posted appropriately on campus, generally by placing a copy in a suitable location in each residence hall, Knights’ End and Marina cafeterias, and all principal academic buildings at the involved campus.

Depending on the particular circumstances of an incident, especially in situations that could pose a significant and immediate threat to the community or individuals, the Office of the Dean of Students may also transmit the warning through the University’s email system to students, faculty, and staff, and/or post a notice to the University of Bridgeport website to enhance the speed and distribution of such information to the University community.

In incidents where the alleged or known perpetrator has been identified and the threat of future incidents has been minimized or eliminated by the person(s) being banned from campus, the residence halls, and/or incarcerated, community notices may not need to be published or may be published only in certain locations. Anyone with information warranting a timely safety warning should report the circumstances to Campus Security by telephone at 203-576-4913 or in person at Campus Security in Norseman Hall.
