CAMPUS SECURITY AND CLERY ACT
The Campus Security and Clery Act requires colleges and universities to:

Publish an annual report every year by October 1. The report must contain three
years of data on campus crime, as well as certain campus security policy statements.

Disclose crime statistics for campuses, public areas immediately adjacent to or
running through the university, parking lots that belong to the school, and certain
non-campus facilities. The statistics must be gathered from local law enforcement,
and other university officials who also gather information from
www.crimereports.com on a daily basis.

Provide “timely warning” notices of those crimes that have occurred and pose an
“on-going threat to students and employees.”

Disclose in a public crime log “any crime that occurred on campus and is reported to
the school authorities.”

Global Health College (GHC) is responsible for preparing and distributing the
annual security report. However, the school works with other businesses and
agencies, both internally and externally to gather and report the information that is
required by the Campus Security Act.

Members of the GHC community are encouraged to use this report as a guide for
engaging in safe activities on and off campus. A copy of this report is available on
our school’s website at www.global.edu

CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITIES AND REPORTING A CRIME
The definition of a “Campus Security Authority” according to federal law is as follows:
“An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus
activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline and campus
judicial proceedings.”
The following is a list of current Global Health College (GHC) Campus Authorities:
Dr. Jennifer Reid, Vice President of Academic Affairs, jreid@global.edu, 703 212 7410 x
1127
Naquanda Mack, Director of Education, nmack@global.edu, 703 212 7410 x 1122
GHC utilizes the Alexandria Police Department for campus security. GHC further strives to
ensure the personal safety of all persons on campus. The Alexandria Police Department
makes rounds at the Stone Wall Jackson building as well as our administrative building
during the day as well as off hours.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION/TIMELY WARNINGS
GHC is committed to the safety and well-being of its faculty, staff, students, and visitors to
the campus. In the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving the
immediate threat to the health or safety of persons on the campus, the school will
immediately notify the community through its emergency notification system and other
media outlets to advise it of the situation, unless notification would otherwise compromise
the effort to assist victims or contain the emergency.
Staff and students should contact the above-listed authorities for all non-emergency
incidents, and call 9-1-1 for all emergencies.
An important part of the emergency notification system at GHC is providing school
community with timely warnings regarding crimes that pose an immediate, ongoing, or
continuing threat to persons or property. On receiving information regarding a potential
threat, school authorities will determine whether a timely warning will be issued. The
warning will be sent through the SMS system, posted on Populi™, school website, and the
phone system.

SCHOOL POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
The following policies apply to all members of the GHC community: students, faculty,
administrators, staff, contract employees, and visitors. School regulations reflect the
policies set by the school’s administrators, as well as local, state, and federal laws, and they
create a high degree of safety for post-secondary schools whose constituents engage in a
wide variety of activities.
Drug-Free Campus Information
The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989, enacted by Congress as
Public Law 101- 226, requires an institution of higher education to adopt and implement a
program designed to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs
and alcohol by students and employees. In some cases, conviction of drug-related offenses
could result in the student's ineligibility for federal funds or other forms of assistance.
Resources for Evaluation and Treatment
A variety of resources exist for alcohol and other drug prevention, education, counseling,
and referral.

Stalking Policy
Stalking is a crime under Virginia state law (18.2–60.3).Incidents of stalking outside
Virginia may be admissible in court if they are relevant to the case and may be punishable
as a misdemeanor or a felony. Stalking behavior is prohibited and will not be tolerated at
Global Health.
GHC defines stalking as a series of behaviors that in context intend to place, or have
knowledge that the behaviors might place, another person in reasonable fear of her or his
safety
or mental or physical well-being. Such behaviors may include, but are not limited to, the
following:

Use of threatening gestures
Pursuing or following
Surveillance or other types of observation
Use of electronic devices or software to track or obtain private information
Trespassing
Vandalism
Nonconsensual (unwanted) touching
Some behaviors may result in separate criminal charges. While certain acts can be
classified as crimes, others that do not rise to criminal behavior may still be subject to the
disciplinary action. Global Health can take action and has the right to place sanctions on an
offender. Incidents occurring on or off campus are subject to school’s disciplinary actions
when such actions materially affect the learning environment or operations of the school.
Legal options available to victims of stalking include reporting to the campus or local
police, seeking a remedy through civil proceedings, and/or using the school’s disciplinary
actions.
Weapons Policy
The possession or the carrying of any weapon by any person, except a police officer, is
prohibited on campus, i.e. in academic buildings, and parking lots, as well as while
attending off campus educational activities, i.e. clinical sites. Entry on the aforementioned
campus areas in violation of this prohibition is expressly forbidden.
Sex Offender Registry
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 was enacted on October 28, 2000,
and became effective on October 28, 2002. This law requires institutions of higher
education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement
agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be
obtained. In Virginia, the information is available at the following Virginia State Police web
site: www.vsp.state.va.us (click on Sex Offender Registry).

PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS
GHC’s safety and security measures are designed to address the area of our campus, but a

members. Here are some common-sense steps you can take for personal safety and loss


Avoid using stairs in remote sections of a building during evening hours.
Wallets, purses, and book bags should never be left unattended.
Be on the look-out for unattended bags, boxes, etc.
Keep your keys in your possession. Do not place them under mats or in other
obvious hiding places.
Avoid working or studying alone in a building at night.
When traversing the campus at night, stay within well-lit walkways. Do not take
shortcuts through wooded areas. Walk in groups.
If your purse or wallet is snatched, don’t fight back. Give it up rather than risk
personal injury, and report the incident to authorities.
Do not put an ID tag with your name, address, or license number on your key chain;
if lost, the key chain could lead to theft.
Carry only the cash and credit cards you need.
Carry a whistle or other means of making a loud noise.
Have your keys in hand when you approach your vehicle.
Keep car doors and windows locked. Check front and back seats and the cargo area
before entering.
Immediately call Police to report any criminal incidents or suspicious persons (dial
911).
