Campus safety is the top priority of Central Piedmont’s Risk, Safety and Security teams, and we want you to have a safe and successful fall semester. In case of an emergency, it’s important that we are able to alert you, and we also want you to know how to contact us if you see something happening on campus.
Emergency Notifications
For Critical Alert messaging, Central Piedmont uses a mass notification system to send urgent alerts to you via text, phone call, and college email if college operations are ever impacted by inclement weather, a power outage, or a campus emergency. We strongly encourage you to keep your mobile number updated in your MyCollege user profile for emergency communications.
Check and update your contact information here:
- Use your college login and password to access your User Profile in MyCollege.
- Also take a moment to review your Emergency Information in MyCollege regarding whom we should contact if you have (or are involved in) an emergency.
Please note you cannot opt out of Critical Alert notification emails to your Central Piedmont account because your Central Piedmont email is the college’s official channel of communication.
Safety & Security Procedures
We also want to remind you of the information available on Central Piedmont’s website about What To Do In An Emergency, for situations including an active shooter, severe weather, fire, and more. We all play a role in safety at the college, so please familiarize yourself with safety and security protocols at the college. In-person classes may begin with a “safety moment” to assign tasks needed in an emergency, such as calling college security, performing CPR/retrieving the AED machine in a medical emergency, and other steps to lead people to safety.
See Something, Say Something
Most importantly, Central Piedmont relies on its students and employees to be the eyes and ears of the college, so if you see or hear something, please say something. If you have a concern of an immediate threat, please call Central Piedmont College Security Services at 704.330.6911.
