Health and Safety

Stony Brook University is deeply committed to the health and safety of everyone in our campus community. PCS participants are expected to follow established best practices to maintain a secure and healthy environment.

 

Safety Procedures

No person shall refuse to observe any safety regulations or procedures.

• If there's an emergency that requires police assistance or medical treatment, University Police should be contacted at their emergency dispatch: (631) 632-3333. Youth participants should involve chaperones and housing staff as soon as possible in these situations.
• Individuals not registered for housing are not permitted in residential buildings. Family, legal guardians, or designee of legal guardians are allowed in residential buildings during check-in and check-out periods only.
• Residential building external doors are locked and controlled by an electronic card access system. Youth participants will not be issued electronic access cards unless otherwise agreed upon by Conference Housing and the Conference Host.
• Fire Safety, University Police, and/or Campus Residences staff may enter rooms during fire alarms to ensure compliance with evacuation procedures.
• The University reserves the right to require that prohibited items are removed immediately from the apartments/residence halls.

 

Security Standards

It is the responsibility of each resident to assist the University in providing protection for persons and property. Residential participants are required to carry their room key(s) and program-issued ID card with them at all times, to lock bedroom and apartment/suite doors whenever exiting, and to report lost or missing keys or access cards immediately.

In order to provide additional building security, Campus Residences enforces the following policies:

• No person shall use or possess any key to a residence hall or any lock within a residence hall that they are not specifically authorized to use or possess.
• No person shall enter any residence hall area that is not intended for the use of residents (e.g. unoccupied residential rooms/spaces, attics, storage areas, roofs, equipment rooms) without the permission of Pre-College Summer Program staff. Nor shall any person assist the unauthorized entry of any person into any restricted area.
• No person shall attempt to deny other residents the use of furnishings or facilities intended to be available in or assigned for the use and benefit of those residents.
