2023-2024 Student Handbook

Emergency Protocol Guides

Carroll College has produced an Emergency Protocol Guide, a red, spiral-bound, plastic cover guidebook with tabbed pages to flip through for information on campus emergencies. The guide provides information on 10 emergencies situations: evacuation procedures, earthquake, fire/arson, security lockdown, firearms discharge/shooter on campus, bomb threat, rape or sexual assault, physical assault, suicide attempt and health emergency. The Emergency Protocol Guide also provides office and mobile phone information for key employees and information on signing up for the college’s emergency notification system, Regroup. Emergency protocol guides are located on a hook on the back of the door of campus offices, student residences and classrooms.

These guides are intended to inform the Carroll community of protocol, and to give direction in the case of a campus crisis. These guides need to stay in their locations and are not to be removed, unless in use for an emergency, and then they must be returned immediately. Disciplinary action may be taken with any faculty, staff or student found in possession of Emergency Protocol Guides outside of an emergency situation. Residence hall students and apartment tenants whose EPGs are not in their rooms at the time of checkout will be assessed the current replacement fee (approximately $50).
