Annual Security Report
In compliance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Education, SEM publishes an annual security report and distributes the document to all students, faculty, and staff. The Campus Security Act requires all colleges and universities to:
Publish an annual report by Oct. 1 that contains three years of campus crime statistics and certain campus security policy statements.
Disclose crime statistics for the campus, public areas immediately adjacent to or running through the campus, and certain non-campus facilities and remote classrooms.
The statistics must be gathered from campus security, local law enforcement, and other university officials who have “significant responsibility for students and campus activities.”
Provide “timely warning” notices of those crimes that have occurred and pose an ongoing “threat to students and employees.”
Disclose in a public crime log “any crime that occurred on campus or within the patrol jurisdiction of University security and is reported to University security.” This log is available upon request in the SEM office.
Emergency Plan
Procedures for emergencies are detailed on SEM page of both the KCU intranet and the University’s external website. The list of KCU emergency plans are available on the KCU Safety App.
KCU has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety to provide an emergency alert system capable of delivering messages to University emails, personal emails and/or cell phones. In the event of an emergency on or near campus that may endanger the University population, KCU’s SEM department will send communication through one or more of the mechanisms identified above.
All emergencies on the campus should be reported immediately by dialing 816.654.7911 on the Kansas City campus, and 417.208.0800 on the Joplin campus. Upon notification of an emergency, the security officer on duty will respond to the scene to confirm that emergency or disaster conditions exist. If needed, a follow-up call will be made to emergency responders via 911 to assure the response and give directions needed. The security officer will, as soon as practical, contact the manager of SEM or the next highest-ranking SEM official.
All students must provide their cell phone number to the Office of the Registrar. This can be done via Workday. These phone numbers must be kept current at all times for emergency contact.
