The College has security programs and policies that are designed to help prevent campus crime. The College strives to maintain a reasonably safe campus. The Graduation Rate Survey is a component of the Integrated Postsecondary Data system. This survey collects data on completion or graduation rates of full-time, first-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students. This data also helps institutions satisfy the requirements of the Student Right-To-Know legislation. In addition to out Rocky Mount campus at which we operate our full-time day and evening college programs, we have Adult Degree Program extension sites in Raleigh, Durham, and in Goldsboro. CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMSThe security staff on the Rocky Mount campus strives to maintain a reasonably safe campus by sponsoring a series of crime prevention programs designed to address the concerns of students, faculty, and staff. We consult crime prevention professionals in the design and presentation of campus programs. The College does an annual Safety and Security Survey with the Wesleyan community to evaluate the satisfaction of its constituents and effectiveness of its various programs. Some of the programs featured each year at the Rocky Mount campus include: "Together For A Safe Campus" Month - a series of programs held during the academic year .Topics include substance abuse prevention, rape and acquaintance rape, personal safety, and protecting one's property. We offer a number of written materials that include tips on how best to avoid being the victim of a sexual offense. These materials also educate the reader on what constitutes rape and provide steps to take if one is the victim of a sexual offense. At the Goldsboro, Raleigh, and Durham sites we make available to students, faculty, and staff a number of safety and security tips designed to reduce the incidence of criminal activity. REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR EMERGENCIES ON CAMPUSStudents, faculty, and staff should make accurate and timely reports of criminal offenses, suspicious activity, and emergencies to Rocky Mount Campus Security.

COLLEGE COMMUNITY REPORTING SYSTEMAt the Rocky Mount Campus, Security provides timely reports to members of the campus community in the occurrence of serious crimes. These reports may be made in person, by E-mail, posted announcements, voice mail, or by residence hall staff. Special residence hall meetings may be held when appropriate. The Goldsboro and Triangle , Raleigh and Durham site directors provide timely reports to members of the campus community on the occurrence of serious crimes. These reports may be made in person, by memo, or by posted announcements. SECURITY RESPONSECampus Security responds in a timely manner to security concerns. Security may request the assistance of the Rocky Mount Police Department in cases where such a request would be reasonable. While Security does not have the authority to arrest individuals, it has an excellent working relationship with local police agencies, including the Rocky Mount Police Department, Nash County Sheriffs Department, and other state law enforcement officials. Security addresses violations of college policy that do not give rise to an arrest. Students who engage in criminal offenses or the violation of campus policies may be subject to the College Judicial System. Following the final determination of an on-campus disciplinary procedure, sanctions may be imposed under the College Judicial System, which may include expulsion from the College. These sanctions are more particularly described in the Judicial Affairs section of the College's Student Handbook. Copies of the Handbook are available in the Student Life Office and Adult Degree Program Office. When law enforcement authorities are investigating an alleged criminal offense, the College Judicial System may be stayed. Following the t completion of such an investigation, the College Judicial System may or may not be invoked, depending in part on the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceeding. At the Raleigh, Durham and Goldsboro sites, the program director has an excellent working relationship with the respective police departments. The director does not have the authority to arrest individuals but works closely with police to investigate and document incidents of criminal activity. Following the final determination that a student at any of the Adult Degree Program Extension sites has committed a sexual offense, sanctions may imposed by the College up to and including expulsion. SUPPORT SERVICES FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULTIf a Rocky Mount student is the victim of the sexual assault, the student is encouraged to make use of the College's counseling services.

Individuals who engage in criminal activity during an off-campus college-sponsored event may be subject to the Campus Judicial System as well as the criminal justice system. The fact that the Campus Judicial System has jurisdiction over a person is no guarantee that he/she will not be subject to the criminal justice system. Relevant College security policies also apply to off-campus events sponsored by the Adult Degree Program extensions sites.
