BUILDING ACCESS

CBN/REGENT CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENT (CBN/RCPD)

The University community is encouraged to be attentive to security needs. Offices should be locked upon leaving at the end of the work day. Criminal activities that involve damage, theft or other infringement upon students, personnel and facilities should be reported immediately to CBN/RCPD. Non-criminal related activities should be reported to the Administrative Services Office, which is responsible for the physical assets of the University, including buildings, furniture and equipment.

CBN/RCPD handles all emergencies.

Emergency Phone Numbers: 226.2911 (Off Campus) or ext. 2911 (On Campus)

For non-emergencies phone: 226.2075 (Off Campus) or ext. 2075 (On Campus) Emergency number is 226-2911 or x2911 from any on-campus phone.

Go to CBN/RCPD website to review the Campus Security Guide, Security Alerts, and other important security related issues, including procedures for reporting the behavior of a student, faculty or staff member that warrants concern, to the Regent University Behavioral Intervention Team (RUBIT), or go directly to the RUBIT website. 

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

CBN/RCPD is responsible for procedures, programs and proper protective equipment to ensure the safety of employees and students. This includes fire drills to periodically test the readiness of the fire/emergency evacuation plan and the equipment.

Faculty are responsible for the safety of the students and, therefore, should familiarize themselves with the emergency procedures.

If you have a bona fide emergency, contact CBN/RCPD at 226.2911 or ext. 2911 from any on-campus phone.

Building Emergency
CBN/RCPD checks all University buildings after hours. A dispatcher is on duty 24 hours a day and the campus fire alarm system sounds in the dispatchers office.

Exit locations for fire/emergency evacuation are posted inside each classroom door. At the time an alarm is sounded, faculty should instruct students to proceed quickly and quietly to the appropriate exit, closing all windows and the door once the room is vacated. EVERYONE MUST EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY WHEN A FIRE ALARM IS SOUNDED. No one is to re-enter the building under any circumstance until authorized by the Fire Marshall or his representative.

In the event that an emergency is discovered after hours, CBN/RCPD SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AT EXTENSION 2911. The CBN/RCPD officer on duty will contact the Manager of Facility Services and the Manager of Administrative Services.

Theft of property should be reported directly to CBN/RCPD at ext. 2075.  However, personal property is the sole responsibility of the owner.

For emergency housekeeping after hours, contact CBN/RCPD at ext. 2075.

Medical Emergency
In the event that an employee incurs serious injury or becomes seriously ill while in class or on Regent University property, CBN/RCPD should be contacted at ext. 2075. The CBN/RCPD is on duty 24 hours a day and is trained to contact the appropriate emergency squad and to dispatch a Police Officer trained for interim emergency treatment. The Emergency Room of Sentara Leigh Hospital on Kempsville Road is the closest hospital emergency room to the University. The person should be admitted and receive treatment under his/her own name and is responsible for payment for services rendered. Subsequent to any serious medical emergency, the Chief of Police, the Manager of Administrative Services, the Vice President for Human Resources, and the employees' department director should be notified.

First Aid kits can be found mounted on walls in all University buildings for minor injury.

IDENTIFICATION/KEY CARDS

All faculty and staff members will be issued an official Regent University Identification/Key Card (ID Card). This ID Card will be issued to you upon completion and approval of an  ID Card Request Form available from the Administrative Services Department, ADM. 116. The ID Card has building access capability and can be coded to enable faculty and staff to enter authorized buildings after hours. A bar code can be added to the card at the Library Circulation Desk or at the Law Library Circulation Desk, to enable faculty and staff to check out library materials.
The ID Card issued to you is designed for use by the person named on the card and should be worn at all times while on campus. The owner is strictly prohibited from "sharing" this important credential with another person to facilitate their movement on campus. Employees found to be in violation of this policy risk the potential loss of their access privileges.

It is the responsibility of the employee to immediately report the loss or theft of his/her ID Card to Administrative Services, ext. 4008 during normal business hours or to CBN /RCPD, ext. 2075 after normal business hours or on weekends.

Your employee ID Card remains the property of Regent University and must be surrendered upon request or upon separation of employment from Regent University.

KEYS

Interior door keys for one's office and for areas other than one's office will be issued to employees, with dean or department head approval, on a "need access" basis. Keys are issued by Administrative Services or Library Administration and are the responsibility of the holder. A Request Form must be submitted to obtain interior door keys. For building access, see ID Cards.

Upon termination of employment, all keys must be returned to the issuing office (Administrative Services or Library Administration) as part of the exit interview process.
