A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF STUDENTS - Fisher College

• Please note Fisher College has designated the following items as Directory Information: Name, address,
telephone number, e-mail address, academic major, full- or part-time status, year of study, resident status, date
of graduation or withdrawal, degrees, certificates or awards earned, participation in officially recognized sports or
activities, most recent educational institution attended by the student, weight and height of members of athletic

Students wishing to withhold the disclosure of any aspects of the “Directory Information” must file a “Request to
Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information” notice with the Registrar’s office.
• Please note that the General Safety Policies, Policies Regarding Respect for the Rights of Others, and Individual
Health and Safety, and Residential Hall Policies detailed later in the Handbook typically overrule the privacy policy,
as long as they are not in direct conflict with FERPA and HIPAA laws.
Parents or legal guardians may be notified of violations of the Rules and Regulations of the College,
particularly in the case of students identified as holding a “Dependent” status.
GENERAL SAFETY POLICIES
In order to uphold the responsibilities towards maintaining a safe, substance and weapons-free campus
where students, faculty, and staff are able to pursue learning, the College has formulated the following
policies:
ACCESS CONTROL
Identification Cards (ID) Policy
To ensure the safety of the College community and that only College affiliated individuals or those on official business
with the College are allowed access, each student is given a picture ID card upon entering Fisher College. This ID
should be carried with the student at all times. The ID allows a student to gain access to the College and to use its facilities,
including the Fisher Dining Hall. All students must, when asked by any College personnel, provide identification.
Failure to do so may result in denial of entry to the College and its facilities, and may result in disciplinary action for the
student. ID cards also function as meal cards for students who have purchased a dining plan. Both ID cards and meal
cards are non-transferable. If a student loses an ID card, please inform the Department of Public Safety immediately
and ask for a replacement card. If you have a dining plan, please inform the Food Service Director so that the lost card
can be deactivated. This will ensure that no one else uses your dining plan. If it occurs after business hours, please
contact the Food Service Director the next business day. There is a $25 replacement charge for lost ID cards. This fee
will be billed to the students account.
Policy with regard to Entering the College
Fisher College Campus Buildings are locked daily from 10:00pm to 6:00am. Commuter students can use the buzzer
system and have Public Safety assist them in entering the non-residential premises of the College. Residential
students must use their residential keys to access the buildings during that time period. Residential keys only open the
students assigned Residential Hall. If you are visiting a residence hall you must be signed in and escorted by a resident
of that building at all times. If you are a residential student but are visiting a residence hall other than your own, you
must be escorted by a resident of that building at all times.
Commuter students have open access to the non-residential areas of the College from 7:00am to 7:00pm. After
7:00pm all students must provide an ID and commuters must sign in with the Department of Public Safety to access
these areas.
