Functions

Escort Service
Security officers provide campus escorts 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week to students and staff upon request. Members of the campus community may also contact Campus Security from off-campus to arrange for an escort when they arrive at the College.

Emergency Blue Light Phone System
These phones are located on campus walkways and in parking lots. They can be used to contact Campus Security
in an emergency situation or to request a security escort.

Access to Campus Facilities 
Except for residence halls, most College facilities are open when classes are in session. During the hours that the College is officially closed, College buildings are locked and only faculty, staff and students with proper ID are admitted. Residence hall doors are always kept locked and are accessible only to students living in that building. Resident directors and resident assistants live in the residence halls and are on-call 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.

Security Advisory Committee
The Security Advisory Committee includes administrators, faculty, staff and students who examine policy and procedures and make recommendations to maintain the safest environment possible.

ID Cards
ID Cards are issued through the ID Card Office which is located in the Student Solution Center on the 3rd floor of Saint Joseph Hall. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm; ID photos taken from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. Your initial Golden Knights ID Card is issued at no charge. However, if your card is lost or damaged due to negligence, you will be charged $ 25.00 to replace it. Your Golden Knights ID card should be carried with you at all times as it is your official college ID and campus access card. Do not punch a hole or slot in your card. If you do so and your card becomes disabled, you will be charged the replacement fee of $25.00. Your ID card is valid for as long as you are a member of The College of Saint Rose community. The functionality of the card becomes void upon termination or interruption of enrollment.
