Policy 301.4.2

Introduction

1.1 This document has been written to establish policies to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Crime Statistics Act, hereafter called the Clery Act, formerly known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Title II, Public Law 101-542) with its amendments and the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (Public Law 110-315).

Scope

2.1 This policy applies to all employees, students, and visitors at the Appalachian Center at the Burke Center, located in the Foothills Higher Education Center, on the campus of Western Piedmont Community College (WPCC) located in Morganton, NC. The Burke Center is part of the Appalachian State University Greater Hickory Partnership (ASU-GHP), between Appalachian State University and the three community colleges in the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton Region. The partnership coordinates delivery of Appalachian’s off-campus degree programs at the Burke Center. For Clery Act reporting purposes only, it is considered a separate campus. The Burke Center campus has no residence halls and exists to offer part-time and full-time undergraduate programs to students who live in the Morganton area and are unable to commute or move to Boone, home of Appalachian State University’s main campus.
