It is the policy of the Campus Police to escort any individual who has concern for their personal well-being. After contacting an officer, the student should explain his or her concerns. We do not provide vehicle escorts but will walk you to your on-campus destination. Please be patient if an officer cannot accompany you immediately.
You may call the Campus Police at one of the following numbers for assistance.
All students enrolled in CCRI are required to obtain a student ID card through the
Office of the Associate Vice President for Student Services. Student IDs are necessary
for library, computer lab and field house usage. To receive a student ID, students
must present their driver’s license or state ID, along with their current CCRI schedule.
A detailed schedule can be obtained through
MyCCRI bearing the student’s ID number. There is no charge for the first ID card.
Reprints for any reason are $5 for students and $25 for faculty and staff.
Campus Police handles all lost and found property. Students who find any items including textbooks, handbags, clothing, eyeglasses, etc., should bring the items to the College Police office on the campus where the item was found so an attempt can be made to locate the owner. Students also are encouraged to go to the Campus Police office to check for their lost items and file a report. Whenever claiming property, students must provide proper identification.
These regulations have been established for the control of parking on the campuses of the Community College of Rhode Island. These regulations apply to students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus.
The following constitute parking violations:
It is a violation to park a vehicle not registered with Campus Police, unless the individual is a student using Student Services or is a visitor to the campus and has a valid permit to park in a designated location. It is also a violation to fail to display a current parking permit properly. Campus Police officers enforce all parking and traffic laws as well as all other laws as permitted in the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.
The following are penalties:
Fines are payable within 10 calendar days of the offense. Payments should be made as instructed on the parking ticket. Students who fail to remit fines will be issued a summons to appear before the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal. Failure by students, faculty and staff to remit fines or the repeated violation of parking regulations may result in the loss of parking privileges. Failure to remit fines will result in the loss of the vehicle owner’s registration and suspension of driver’s license as mandated in the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.
Unauthorized vehicles parked on campus, vehicles parked in fire lanes, vehicles illegally parked in handicapped, reserved, loading, short-term parking or visitors’ spaces, vehicles that are immobilized, obstruct traffic, or impede the normal functions of the college are subject to towing at the owner’s or operator’s expense.
Students, faculty and staff with two unpaid parking fines who incur a fine for a third parking violation are subject to revocation of their parking privileges, towing or other penalty.
Tickets for parking violations may be appealed by checking “Not Guilty” on the ticket and mailing the document to the indicated address. The Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal will subsequently issue a summons to appear before the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal where the individual can plead their innocence.
All questions regarding parking regulations should be addressed to the Chief of College Police.
The Community College of Rhode Island prohibits smoking in all of its campus facilities
as well as at all points of access and egress from its facilities, including all connecting
ramps and walkways such as those at the Knight Campus Megastructure. Smoking is allowed
at or beyond designated enclosures located at each campus or at a distance equal to
those enclosures from the building. Smoking includes traditional tobacco products
as well as “electronic cigarettes” and similar devices. Failure to comply will result
in disciplinary action as stipulated by the dean of students for student infractions,
and the appropriate disciplinary process as set forth in collective
bargaining agreements or Board of Education policy for faculty and staff.
The prohibition within all facilities will not apply to the use of tobacco products as part of a preapproved, limited classroom demonstration or research project.
The Community College of Rhode Island recognizes the right of students to associate and form an autonomous student government association under the umbrella of the Community College of Rhode Island. To that end, the community college grants the following limited privileges to student government which are subject to and under the supervision of the Office of Student Life.
The rights and responsibilities delegated to the student government association may be revoked by the community college if rights are abused or responsibilities are not met, including the violation of college policies. The community college will designate at least one administrator to facilitate the activities and operations of Student Government. All Student Government operations fall under the auspices of the Office of Student Life via the dean of students.
In accordance with federal and state laws, the Community College of Rhode Island will not deny admission to or otherwise discriminate against a qualified applicant solely on the basis of disability. In addition, no otherwise qualified student with a disability shall be denied the opportunity to participate in or benefit from an aid, benefit or service offered by the college. CCRI recognizes disability as a form of diversity that strengthens and enriches the campus communities and is committed to creating an educational environment that is supportive, accepting and accessible to all students.
To receive support services, students with disabilities must self-identify with the Disability Services for Students (DSS) Office on the CCRI campus they attend and provide the DSS office with current and appropriate documentation of the disability that supports the need for the accommodations requested. CCRI will make modifications to academic requirements where appropriate and provide the necessary reasonable accommodations to ensure accessibility. The institution cannot, however, make modifications that would substantially change the essential elements of a curriculum. While striving to meet the individual needs of all students, CCRI reserves the right to set and maintain standards for academic performance and personal conduct.
To assist Campus Police in returning lost textbooks, students should record their identification or driver’s license number in the book. Please note: Students should confirm they have purchased the correct textbooks before recording any information in the book.
All traffic accidents that occur on campus must be reported to the Campus Police as soon as possible. Police officers patrol the campus on foot and with patrol vehicles and should be summoned to the scene of any accident. A report to police will allow the officers to call for the assistance of rescue, fire and additional police personnel. Any person who leaves the scene and fails to report an accident will be subject to the same penalties under Rhode Island Motor Vehicle Laws and will be referred to the Office of the Associate Vice President for Student Services.
The Community College of Rhode Island has maintained a long-standing policy prohibiting
weapons on any of its campuses. The introduction of guns, knives or other devices
on campus is potentially dangerous to the entire college community and inconsistent
with a safe learning environment. Faculty, staff and students are, therefore, advised
that the introduction of any
weapon is a direct violation of policy and a serious breach of security that will
require immediate discipline, up to and including dismissal. Possession of a weapon
is a no-tolerance behavior in the student code of conduct. Anyone aware of a potential
violation of the No Weapons Policy should contact Campus Police.
