Emergency/General Policies and Regulations Wolf Alert
The Wolf Alert is the college’s emergency alert and notification system. Wolf Alert delivers rapid, multi-platform messages in the event of an emergency to students, faculty members, and staff. This is the best source for timely information and instruction on what to do in the event of any campus emergency such as severe weather, power outages, criminal activity, threats, or other emergency situations. Each student, faculty and staff member will receive an email with a user identification, password, and step-by-step instructions on how to register. Be assured that all contact information you provide is kept confidential, safe, and secure, and will never be used for any purpose beyond what you have authorized. Your information is for the official use of Copiah-Lincoln Community College’s emergency alert system only and is never shared with any third parties.
Medical Emergencies
The college does not have the facilities or equipment to administer
extended medical treatment to persons who are sick or injured. Therefore, if a
student or other persons on campus are sick or injured, and if in the opinion of college officials, a medical emergency exists, college officials may call for an ambulance to transport sick or injured persons to a medical facility. Calling for an ambulance or other emergency agencies will be at the discretion of college officials, and students or other persons involved in the emergency must cooperate and follow the directions of college officials. It will be considered a violation of policy if any student refuses or interferes with the directions of college officials during such emergencies. Such students will be subject to disciplinary action. Expenses for professional care or treatment are the responsibility of the sick or injured student or guest. If it is determined by college officials that it would be hazardous to a student’s health or safety to reside in campus housing due to certain medical conditions (such as a student’s refusal to take prescribed medication, to follow doctor’s orders, etc.), the college may require a clearance letter from a qualified physician in order for the student to reside in campus housing. Students who need medical assistance or a medical referral should contact the Campus Police Department (Wesson Campus), Vice President of the Natchez Campus or Vice President of the Simpson County Center.
