Every effort is made to keep each location a safe place for students to study, work and live.  A Campus Safety Officer is on duty 24 hours a day at Louisburg College to ensure the safety and welfare of the college campus.

Questions and concerns should be referred to the Campus Safety and Police.

  At Louisburg College, the safety of our community is a top priority.  Therefore, Louisburg College has partnered with e2Campus to quickly provide emergency notifications to members of the Louisburg College community.  Louisburg College students, faculty and staff can sign up for e2Campus through their secure college portal.  Please note that you must have SMS text messaging enabled on your mobile account in order to receive LC Alerts on your mobile phone.  LC Alerts will also be sent via the college’s e-mail system. 

  What are LC Alerts?
  This system is designed to quickly provide important information to all members of the Louisburg College community.  It utilizes both campus e-mail and personal cell phones to distribute emergency notifications in a timely manner.  Community members may also opt-in to receive up-to-date school information such as news, sports, special event notices, and more.

  Who can sign-up for LC Alerts?
  All members of the Louisburg College community may sign up, including students, faculty and staff.

  How can I sign up?
  Students, faculty and staff must log into their secure campus portal (My LC or Faculty portal).  On the toolbar at the left of the screen is a link to the college’s alert system.  To create an account, simply click on the User Sign-up link and follow the instructions.  Creating an account generally takes less than five minutes.  Thereafter, you may also log-in to your account by clicking the User Login link located on the portal.
  
  How do I opt-in (or out) of certain alerts?
  All users who have an active account will receive emergency alerts and ONLY emergency alerts.  Users wishing to receive other announcements and updates must log-in to their account and opt-in by checking the updates they desire.  To opt-out, simply un-check the updates you no longer desire.
  
  How can I get additional information if I receive an alert?
  Since the message capacity for SMS text messages is limited, Louisburg College will only be able to provide a brief message containing the most critical information.   Additional information will be provided as quickly as possible via campus e-mail, the college’s website, and local media (when necessary).
  
  Will this service cost me anything?
  There is no cost to enroll in LC Alerts.  However, depending on your wireless carrier provider and the plan you have, you may be charged a nominal fee (like ten cents per message) to receive SMS text messages. You should check your plan details or contact your provider if you are unsure.
  
  Will I receive unsolicited messages ("SPAM") on my mobile phone or email account?
  NO - e2Campus enforces a zero spam policy which clearly prohibits unsolicited messages, and e2Campus does not sell the contact information of subscribers to third party marketers.

Drug and Alcohol Facts: A Drug-Free Campus  

• Alcohol is not allowed in the residence halls - or anywhere on campus
• Ghb, Rohypnol (Roofies) and Ketamine (Special K) are odorless and tasteless, making it easy for someone to slip them into your drink. If you are drugged, you may be sedated for up to six hours. During this time, you will lose inhibitions, succumb to drowsiness, slur your speech and forget what happens.
• Never leave your drink unattended, especially when at a party or bar
• Never accept drinks from  strangers
• Never ride with an impaired driver
• Never get behind the wheel if you consume alcohol or take drugs
• Alcohol and drugs compromise your safety by lowering inhibitions and clouding your judgment.
