Alcohol and Drug Policies
Firearms, weapons, and explosives
Firearms are not allowed on university property. The possession of a
firearm on the campus is a violation of South Carolina state law. There
are no provisions at this time to store firearms for the purpose of
sport. Fireworks, air guns, BB guns, pellet guns and paint ball guns are
also prohibited.
Missing person protocol
Most missing person reports in the university environment can result
from a student changing their normal routine and failing to inform
roommates or friends of this change. Reports of missing persons should
be made to the University Police Department (294-2111) if the person missing
is not found within a reasonable time or immediately if there is
information that the person could be at personal risk. Do not wait 24
hours. All reports made to the University Police Department of missing
persons are followed up with an on-going investigation. Parents are
normally notified 8 hours, dependent on circumstances, of unresolved
missing person reports. If you would like a confidential source/person
to be notified, send the Director of University Police an email, and this
will be added to department info files and will be held as confidential
information. Missing persons are reported to NCIC (nationwide law
enforcement network) if the person is not found within a reasonable time
(less than 8 hours).
