Health + Safety

On this page you will find information about policies that impact life in the residence halls. For the full policy text, we encourage you to review the Student Handbook below. The policies for life in the residence halls are derived from local, state, and federal law and are enforced to assure safety of the community.

Residence Accessibility

Bard’s Buildings and Grounds Department provides routine maintenance to prevent maintenance and mold concerns, and Bard’s Environmental Services Department cleans residence hall common areas on a daily basis. Buildings and residence hall rooms are inspected multiple times per year. If you believe that you have mildew or mold in your residence hall room, please complete a work order as soon as possible so the issue can be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.

Emergency Response Team

Security, phone: 7777

Students in need of support can find help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling Security and requesting the administrator-on-duty. Members of the Dean of Student Affairs staff share an on-duty rotation throughout the year, providing help and support for students in need. This includes accompanying students to the local hospital if needed, helping to resolve a conflict, or talking through a personal matter. For more immediate or serious mental health issues, the administrator-on-duty will connect students to the counselor-on-duty.

Peer-supported emergency services, Bard’s Emergency Medical Service (EMS), and the BRAVE hotline, may also be reached by contacting Security at 845-758-7777.
