University Community Notifications
What warrants a "community notification"?
In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the Chief of University Police, in conjunction with the Vice President for Student Success, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat to the campus population, a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued.
1. Safety Related Issues:
An incident that occurs in close proximity of the University's three campuses that may potentially affect the personal safety and security of our student, faculty and staff population.
An incident that occurs ON any of our campuses that affects the personal safety and security of our population.
2. Health Related Issues:
A member of our population is diagnosed with a serious or life threatening communicable/infectious disease.
Evidence of bio terrorism.
Ways to communicate these issues:
For Safety Related Issues:
The following methods can be used to get the word out. Methods of communication will be chosen based on the nature of the incident. A decision will be made on notification methods based on approval of the VP for Student Success.
E-mail to all students and/or faculty/staff
Postings in campus center, residence halls, downtown and east campus as applicable to the incident. Postings can be emailed as attachments to various offices as indicated below
Delivery of hard copy notification to all residential suites
ASP ad, based on timing of the incident
Posting of notification on University Police Department web site
SUNY NY Alert in the case of a critical campus wide emergency
Email to parents
Post to MyUAlbany portal
For Health Related Issues:
The following methods can be used to get the word out. Methods of communication will be chosen based on the nature of the incident. A decision will be made on notification methods based on approval of the VP for Student Success.
Letters to students and/or parents (communication to parents is extremely minimal, most likely done in cases of measles, mumps, or rubella. Viral Meningitis would be communicated to the parents whose students are directly affected.)
Letters to faculty and staff, if appropriate
Posting of notification on the University web-site
ASP ad, based on timing of the incident

For information that is believed to be of interest or concern to the entire University population, the Vice President for Student Success will typically notify the President’s Office in advance of sending a campus wide notification.
