2024-2025 Student Handbook

Emergency Preparedness & Emergency Protocols

Emergency preparedness and response is a shared responsibility. Carroll College provides information regarding emergency preparedness and response to the campus via the college's website (Safety & Emergency in the Campus Life section) and printed materials. Employees, students and guests of Carroll College should commit to personal preparedness and, because general preparedness guidelines may not apply in every emergency, should integrate their own preparedness activities with the circumstances of an emergency.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind during emergency situations:

  • Be positive and realistic.
  • Recognize that you may be on your own for part of the time during an emergency.
  • Realize that your actions can, and will, make a difference.
  • Try to do the most good for the most people during any emergency.

Our goal at Carroll College is to handle serious events in a responsive and responsible manner. Due to the unique problems and challenges created by serious incidents, Carroll College has established both an Emergency Protocol Guide to provide guidelines for college faculty, staff, and students to handle serious incidents and emergencies as well as access to this same information on our website at Emergency Protocols.  These protocols provide you with important information on your personal actions in each incident or situation.
