Campus Safety Awareness Month Continues!

FCC Public Safety and the Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management teams are committed to public safety and YOUR safety. It only takes 3-5 minutes for someone to bleed out from a traumatic injury and only one minute for you to help. The potentially life-saving video below details what you can do to stop traumatic bleeding. Stop the Bleed kits are located in the AED cabinets in each building on campus.

If You See Something, Say Something

Practicing situational awareness, being fully aware of your surroundings, the people in it, and your situation, is vital for preventing and responding to an immediate threat or hazard. If you see something, say something!

Construction Notice

Beginning October 3, the Parking Deck will be closed to allow for scheduled maintenance and repair work. Parking lots on campus will remain open during this time. Please note, the parking deck re-opening date is an estimate and may need to be extended in the event of inclement weather. Thank you for your patience while this necessary work is completed.

Stay in the Loop!

Here you will find valuable student resources, including student services tools, event announcements, registration and student account links, social updates, academic support links, and more.
