Safety 

Report an Incident (If this is an emergency, call 9-1-1)

In the event that a student witnesses or is a victim of any crime, violence, sexual assault, building entry, damage to the building, vandalism, or other criminal activity, the student should:

  1. Retreat to safety
  2. Seek medical attention if needed
  3. Inform law enforcement of the incident (CCMS strongly suggests that a victim of sexual assault report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation).
  4. Complete an Incident Report.

Use the form above to report a crime, Title IX violation, or other incident. We will review and contact you shortly.  If you have been the victim of a crime, CCMS strongly encourages you to file a police report.  Springfield Township Police Department’s phone number is 513-729-1300. If you have been the victim of a sexual or interpersonal offense, you are encouraged to seek immediate medical assistance.

Notifications

The College maintains multiple systems for alerting the College community about campus closures due to weather or other non-emergencies and will use some or all of those systems, depending on the circumstances. The primary means of notification is text messaging. You must “opt in” to receive text alerts – see this page for instructions. 

If there is sufficient time, these channels may be used also:

  • E-mail
  • CCMS Official Facebook page
  • Media 
  • College website homepage banner

Notification of closure alerts will primarily be used for inclement weather or other non-emergency campus concerns that warrant closure.
