Timely Warnings<br />

In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the<br />

Campus President or building security staff, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat,<br />

a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued. Timely warnings are provided to give<br />

students, faculty and staff notification of <strong>crime</strong>s that have occurred on the institution’s<br />

geographic area and have been <strong>report</strong>ed to campus security authorities or local police<br />

agencies and are considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing<br />

threat to students and employees. Timely warnings are not limited to violent <strong>crime</strong>s or<br />

<strong>crime</strong>s against person, but may be threats to persons or to property. For example,<br />

there may be a rash of burglaries or motor vehicle thefts that merit a warning because<br />

they represent a continuing threat to the campus community.<br />

The decision to issue a timely warning is based on the nature of the <strong>crime</strong>, the<br />

continuing danger to the campus community, and the possible risk of compromising law<br />

enforcement efforts. The timely warning should allow the members of the campus<br />

community to protect themselves. Timely warning <strong>report</strong>s are provided to the campus<br />

community in a variety of ways so that the warning will be able to reach the entire<br />

campus community. The timely warning includes information about the <strong>crime</strong> that<br />

triggered the timely warning and all information that will promote safety and that would<br />

aid in the prevention of similar <strong>crime</strong>s. Once <strong>Argosy</strong> <strong>University</strong> determines the content<br />

of the warning, timely warning <strong>report</strong>s are provided through a variety of mechanisms,<br />

including notifications issued through the SendWordNow® Emergency Notification<br />

System and posted on the Student Services Bulletin Board on campus.<br />

POLICIES FOR PREPARING THE ANNUAL DISCLOSURE OF CRIMINAL STATISTICS<br />

All incidents are <strong>report</strong>ed and documented on an Incident Report form, which is sent to<br />

Michele Cortez, Associate Director of Student Services. Reports are kept in a secure<br />

location in the Student Services area. The annual <strong>crime</strong> <strong>report</strong> is prepared by gathering<br />

campus <strong>crime</strong> statistics and data from local and state police and sheriff departments<br />

and other relevant information by the Associate Director of Student Services.<br />
