The Federal Sex Crimes Prevention Act, enacted on October 28, 2000, requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where to obtain law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice, as required under state law, of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student.

Information regarding individuals on the registered sex offenders list can be obtained at the following:

Emergency Procedures

Students will receive evacuation route information in the classroom, and maps with evacuation routes are located next to all stairway entrances.

Students should take notice of the location of stairways and exits in order to be properly oriented in the event of an emergency. If an evacuation is needed, an emergency notification will be used to evacuate the building.

Emergency Messages for Students

Dunwoody College is committed to keeping students, faculty, and staff informed about critical campus safety issues. During an emergency situation, the College will utilize a strategic protocol to relay important information, and will use one or more of the following communication channels:

  • RAVE Notification System – This is an emergency notification system that allows the College to communicate quickly via text, phone, and email to students, faculty, staff, and pre-designated individuals. All students and employees are automatically enrolled in this system.
  • Public Address (PA) System – The campus is equipped with a PA system that is used to broadcast important information to the campus community.
  • Digital Signage – Digital displays are located around campus and can be used to communicate safety information.
  • Social Media – The College utilizes its Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Threads accounts to relay emergency/school closing messages to its followers.

When Dunwoody College of Technology determines the campus will be closed due to inclement weather or other emergency situations, that decision will be announced in the following locations:
