Last Modified: Tuesday, September 30, 2025 2:40 pm<\/em><\/p>\n This Annual Security Report (ASR) is created and published by the University in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (\u201cClery Act\u201d), 20 U.S.C. 1092f and the Department of Education\u2019s regulations codified at 34 C.F.R. 668.41, 668.46 and 668.49 and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act and Part 86 of the Department of Education\u2019s General Administrative Regulations. The ASR is available on the University\u2019s website at the University Police Department Webpage and is updated annually. The ASR is also distributed electronically to current and prospective students and employees no later than October 1st each year. Upon request, a paper copy of the report will be provided by University Police at its Headquarters.<\/p>\n Community safety is the primary responsibility of the University Police Department<\/a>, administered by its Chief of Police who reports to the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life. In addition to the Chief, the department is staffed by commissioned police officers and dispatch officers.<\/p>\n The department is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Information and emergency telephone numbers are posted and published throughout campus. Officers at headquarters are in direct radio communication with officers on patrol. Patrols of the campus are made by police officers in highly visible police vehicles.<\/p>\n University police officers are trained and commissioned in accordance with NJSA 18A:6-4.2-4. University police officers complete 26-week training at the police academy approved by the State of New Jersey Police Training Commission and which is the same as required for municipal police officers. University police officers have complete authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on campus and enforce all New Jersey Motor Vehicle laws. All personnel receive additional in-service instruction through qualified sources throughout the state. This includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid, as well as other relevant service skills.<\/p>\n The department has been assigned an identification number by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and submits monthly reports of all criminal incidents under its jurisdiction to the New Jersey State Police. These reports are forwarded to the FBI and compiled into the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). The department works closely with local police and fire departments in the Township of Little Falls, Township of Montclair, Township of Bloomfield and City of Clifton, the New Jersey State Police and other law enforcement agencies. The department is equipped with the State Police Emergency Network (SPEN), affording immediate communication with neighboring law enforcement agencies. The Department also maintains a written daily crime log listing all crimes that occurred on campus, in University\u2019s residence halls, off-campus and on public property.<\/p>\n The 精品成人福利在线 University campus is an open one. There are no protective boundaries that separate it from surrounding communities and highways. Although the University police officers are highly visible in providing for the safety and welfare of the university community, there are precautions that everyone should take to avoid becoming a potential target of crime. For example, traveling alone after peak class hours to perimeter areas of the campus (such as distant parking lots or undeveloped portions of the campus) is not a safe practice. For this reason, we encourage students and employees to walk with a friend or in a group or to take the campus shuttle bus. The department provides a number of services to help prevent crime that include the following:<\/p>\n Many incidents on university campuses can be avoided if people take personal safety seriously. Precautions such as locking doors, walking in groups or taking the Campus Shuttle at night and keeping valuables out of sight, are emphasized in student and employee orientation programs and reinforced throughout the year. To schedule a program for your group or organization on a variety of topics please contact us at msupolice@montclair.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n Other services available on campus for personal safety are:<\/p>\n The University provides a technology-assisted escort program through the Rave Guardian application which may be installed on a mobile phone. This service uses Global Position System (GPS) technology to provide voluntary monitoring of movements from one area of campus to another. If a person does not reach their intended destination in the period of time specified, an alarm is sounded in police headquarters and police will respond to the user\u2019s location. Students who wish to take advantage of this service or for further information about this application, visit the Rave Mobile Safety web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n Access to residence facilities is generally restricted to students and employees with a University ID Card and proper authorization. All other campus buildings are accessible by students, employees and faculty during normal business hours. Any person requiring access to rooms or buildings must have the proper authorization to be within the facility; all others may be escorted out of the building when campus is closed or during the overnight hours. During weekends and holidays, persons who require access to any building must first check in at the University Police Headquarters.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n There are 167 emergency call boxes located throughout the campus. When the receiver is picked up, a dispatcher comes on the line to offer assistance. The call boxes are easily identified by large red and white colored emergency phone signs and a blue light overhead.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n The quality and effectiveness of campus lighting are surveyed weekly and maintenance is ongoing. Modern lighting systems enhance visibility and care is taken to keep walkways clear and free from encroaching trees and shrubs. If you observe severe lighting outages on campus that could jeopardize personal safety, please report immediately to University Police and we will notify Maintenance of the required repairs.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n All vehicles parked on campus property are subject to University parking regulations. Parking lots are clearly designated to require parking permits. Visitor parking and metered parking is available in designated areas. Handicapped parking is also available. Information about available parking and regulations can be found at the Parking Services website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Operators of e-scooters, e-bikes, e-hoverboards, etc. (all personal electric vehicles) must follow all rules of the road. Bringing a personal electric vehicles inside any University owned building or facility for any amount of time is strictly prohibited. Storage is permitted outside of academic or residential buildings in the designated areas or at one of the University provided racks where they can be secured.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n Regular shuttle bus service is available seven days a week. Scheduled information is available at Shuttle Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n 精品成人福利在线 University complies with all New Jersey statutes governing the consumption, sale and service of alcoholic beverages. A full statement of the alcohol policy<\/a> is published on the University Policy website<\/a> or upon request from the Office of the Dean of Students<\/a>.<\/p>\n The University prohibits the possession, use and sale of illegal drugs. The full text of the drug policy<\/a> is published on the University Policy website<\/a> or upon request from the Office of the Dean of Students<\/a>.<\/p>\n In order to provide members of the campus community with information on health risks and legal sanctions, substance abuse issues are addressed in programs offered throughout the year. Protocols addressing problems and providing assistance for those members of the campus community who may be impaired due to substance abuse, alcohol dependency and\/or physical, mental or emotional disorders, are available upon request from the Dean of Students Office, Counseling and Psychological Services, the Student Health Center, Human Resources and University Police.<\/p>\n The University complies with all state and federal statutes governing the possession and use of firearms, ammunition, explosives, hazardous devices, air guns and dangerous weapons. Students, faculty and staff are forbidden to use or possess firearms, dangerous weapons or explosives on campus.<\/p>\n Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n The University prohibits the possession, use and sale of illegal drugs. The possession, use and sale of illegal drugs and controlled substances is a violation of University policy, the Student Code of Conduct and federal and New Jersey law. Individuals engaging in this activity are referred to University Police for criminal prosecution. In addition, students and employees engaged in this activity will be subject to discipline. Illegal drugs or controlled substances refers to those defined as illegal under federal, state and\/or local laws and include, but are not limited to, all forms of narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, or other drugs whose use, possession or transfer is restricted or prohibited by law (except for drugs prescribed by a licensed prescriber and used according to instructions for the purpose for which they were prescribed).<\/p>\n When such activity occurs on campus, 精品成人福利在线 University shall initiate appropriate measures, which may include disciplinary action. When such activity occurs off campus, 精品成人福利在线 nevertheless may consider initiating disciplinary action if the University determines that the activity has a substantial adverse effect upon the University or upon individuals of the University community. In addition, such matters may be reported by the University to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.<\/p>\n A federal or state drug conviction (but not a local or municipal conviction) can disqualify a student for Federal Student Aid funds. Convictions only count against a student for aid eligibility purposes (FAFSA question 23c) if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid.<\/p>\n Since involvement with drugs may be associated with medical and psychological problems, students and others may be referred to Counseling and Psychological Services for a confidential evaluation. Students should be aware that 精品成人福利在线 University continually develops and offers programs and courses on drug education and prevention. Individual, and group counseling is also available on campus and off-campus at rates determined on a sliding scale, based on ability to pay.<\/p>\n Use and\/or possession of cannabis in any form or any reason, including medicinal, is not permitted on 精品成人福利在线 University\u2019s campus.<\/strong><\/p>\n While State regulations have instituted a big change, there are still rules and regulations to be aware of to ensure you are complying with policies<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n While the State of New Jersey voted to allow the legalization and now has implemented the sales of cannabis, there is a difference between what the \u201cState\u201d allows vs what the \u201cFederal\u201d government allows.<\/p>\n Most importantly, Cannabis is not legal at the federal level. It cannot be transported out of state, or consumed at any university that receives federal funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n Any college campus that permits use of cannabis risks losing all federal funding. This policy aligns with 精品成人福利在线 University\u2019s smoke and tobacco-free policy.<\/p>\n The University prohibits the possession, use and sale of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age. The possession, use and sale of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age is a violation of University policy, the Student Code of Conduct and New Jersey law. Individuals engaging in this activity are referred to University Police for criminal prosecution. In addition, students and employees engaged in this activity will be subject to discipline.<\/p>\n University policy related to possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages is based on two principles: (1) the laws of the State of New Jersey must be strictly enforced and (2) any consumption must occur within a social framework wherein beverages are not the focus of the event.<\/p>\n Students and others with alcohol abuse problems should be aware that they may be referred to Counseling and Psychological Services for referral and\/or counseling information. In addition, a series of programs and courses on alcohol are offered by the University. Individual and group counseling is also available on campus and off-campus at rates determined on a sliding scale, based upon ability to pay.<\/p>\n All applicable state and municipal penalties will be imposed by the appropriate municipal, county or state court. In addition to Municipal and State penalties, there are 精品成人福利在线 University penalties for offenses committed. The Dean of Students or designee will be notified of all offenses and will initiate action as outlined in the Non-Academic Disciplinary Procedures of the Student Handbook. A copy of the campus guidelines concerning alcohol consumption may be obtained on the Dean of Students<\/a> website.<\/p>\n In New Jersey, the sale of alcoholic beverages to individuals under age 21 is prohibited. Furthermore, the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited unless under the authority of a license or permit. Sale of alcoholic beverages on the 精品成人福利在线 University campus is permitted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older and restricted to the University Hall Conference Center or other college premises eligible for Alcoholic Beverage Commission Special Permits. Because a majority of 精品成人福利在线 University students are under the age of 21, the sale and\/or consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted only in those areas and at those times when special permission has been obtained from the appropriate administrative Office on campus.<\/p>\n No alcohol is permitted in any of the residence halls or Hawk Crossings Apartments, including residents\u2019 rooms and common areas such as lounges and recreation rooms. Residents are held directly responsible for the conduct of their guests.<\/p>\n The University promotes an alcohol-free residence hall community as part of a strong academic environment. Because the majority of campus residents are under age and due to the challenges of alcohol abuse, alcohol is prohibited in the residence halls. Possession of alcohol, or empty alcohol cans, bottles, etc., constitutes a violation and may result in strict disciplinary action and\/or dismissal from the residence community. Students may be asked to reveal the contents of bags, boxes, etc. if reasonable suspicion of possible alcohol possession exists.<\/p>\n Alcohol possession and consumption are permitted only in the Village apartments where all residents are of legal drinking age and where there are no guests who are not of legal drinking age and only inside the apartments.<\/p>\n In keeping with NJ laws regarding alcohol and the University\u2019s own philosophy regarding substance use and abuse, only Village residents 21 years of age or older may possess and consume alcohol inside their apartments and only under the following conditions: 1) no alcohol deliveries are permitted to the apartments, 2) no alcohol is permitted outside the buildings or in hallways\/stairwells, or other common areas outside of apartments and 3) no alcohol is given to individuals under 21 years of age. In addition, quantities of alcohol are limited based on the guidelines outlined in the Department of Residential Education and Services handbook.<\/p>\n Quantities.<\/strong> To prevent alcohol abuse, the University prohibits quantities of alcohol beyond what is reasonably appropriate for personal use by the number of occupants assigned to a residence. Quantities of alcohol that are intended for consumption beyond personal use by the number of occupants (e.g. for entertaining or a party) are prohibited. The University may consider the number of empty containers within a residence in determining whether this section of the Code has been violated. All empty containers must be disposed of promptly for safety and sanitary reasons.<\/p>\n Roommates.<\/strong> Students under 21 years old sharing an apartment in The Village with students who are 21 years old or older may be in the presence of alcohol within their apartment ONLY; however, the underage individuals are NOT allowed to consume or possess alcohol. Non-residents of the apartment under the age of 21 are not permitted to be in the presence of alcohol.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 33:1-2 makes it unlawful to directly or indirectly sell alcoholic beverages to any person of any age without a license or special permit issued by the New Jersey Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. Sale is construed to include admission charges, the sale of cups, the sale of tickets and\/or the acceptance of donations.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 2C:33-17 states any alcoholic beverage available to a person under the legal drinking age, in public or private, without an adult parent or guardian present and consenting, is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and\/or up to six months in jail.<\/p>\n Note: It is NOT A DEFENSE to any of the above charges that the accused believed the person to be of legal drinking age, EVEN if that belief was reasonable. The only available defense is based on the presentation of a photographic identification card or driver license, issued by a state.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 2C:33-15 provides for MINIMUM fine of $500, suspension of driving privileges for six months and requires participation in an Alcohol Education Program for any person under the legal drinking age to possess, in any public place, any alcoholic beverage, regardless of whether or not the container is sealed.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 39:4-50 provides for a MINIMUM $200 fine for any operator or passenger in a motor vehicle found to be in possession of any open container of an alcoholic beverage, regardless of his\/her age.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 33:1-81 makes it an offense, punishable as outlined below, for:<\/p>\n A person convicted of a violation of any of these provisions is subject to the following penalties for EACH violation: a MINIMUM fine of $100 AND a MANDATORY one-year loss of driving privilege, AND court-ordered participation in an Alcoholic Education Program.<\/p>\n N.J.S.A 39:4-50 et. seq. provides penalties for any person convicted of operating a motor vehicle anywhere within this State, on public or private property, while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or any drug (including lawful drugs if the operator’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is impaired thereby).<\/p>\n N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10.

In order to facilitate this growth most effectively, it is essential to maintain an appropriate environment.<\/p>\n Thus the University requires the cooperation of all members of the campus community, both in and out of the classroom.

It is intended to prevent, limit and correct actions that may impede, obstruct or damage the educational environment and threaten the maintenance of order.<\/p>\n While it is the goal of the disciplinary process to educate students as to the purpose and importance of abiding by prescribed codes of conduct, the University will also issue sanctions as are appropriate and necessary to ensure continued and\/or future adherence to these codes and to protect the general population from disruptive behavior.<\/p>\n This document and supporting materials have been developed to guarantee procedural fairness to students when there has been an alleged failure to abide by 精品成人福利在线\u2019s policies and regulations.
