Public and Personal Safety on Campus Campus Fire Safety and Right-to-Know
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary is concerned about the safety of every individual on campus and, therefore, has very strict fire safety regulations. Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary provides an Annual Fire Safety Report to inform the campus community of important fire and life safety information pertaining to their residences on campus. Fire and life safety programs must receive community-wide support to be effective. Cooperation from students and residents at fire drills, announced and unannounced, is expected. Students and residents who do not observe these regulations jeopardize the safety of others on this campus and, therefore, will be subject to disciplinary action. Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary is in compliance with the Campus Fire Safety Rightto-Know Regulations from the Higher Education Act (HR 4137).
Campus Safety (Boston CUME)
Campus Safety at the Boston Campus (CUME) involves common sense on behalf of our students and staff. Please lock your car, remove all electronic devices, and bring them into the building with you. Anytime someone enters the Boston Campus building they are asked to sign in and provide identification to the person at the front desk. During regular business hours a receptionist monitors the visitors into the campus, and in the evening hours during classes there is a security guard at the front desk. Our premises are monitored 24‐7 by a recorded video‐surveillance system both inside and outside our building. It is imperative that if a crime occurs to you within the vicinity of the school, it should be reported immediately, not only to the Boston Police, but also to the administration. Note: In the event of an emergency that requires the Boston Police Department, Fire Department, or an ambulance, always dial 911, immediately. For more information and online forms, please visit Campus Safety’s webpage on the Gordon‐Conwell website.
