Relationship with Campus Conduct Systems for students. Residential students may notice police officers working alongside Residence Education staff members on their rounds to enhance the quality of life in residence facilities. The Office of Campus Police Services maintains close working relationships with the Office of the Dean of Students, and the Department of Residential Education and Housing. Police officers may refer cases to the campus conduct system in addition to the formal criminal justice system. It is standard practice of the Office of Campus Police Services to fully inform victims of additional options through college and non-college entities. Residence halls are open only to campus residents and their invited guests and are so posted, consistent with New Jersey trespass statutes. Entrances to campus residence halls are equipped with card reader identification systems, which provide 24-hour access to campus residents. During evening and early morning hours, those seeking admittance to some facilities are additionally required to present proof of residency or, if they are guests, to present identification and be signed in by a resident. College student conduct proceedings may be instituted against a student charged with conduct that potentially violates both the criminal law and College policy without regard to the pendency of civil or criminal litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. Proceedings under these procedural standards may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings off campus at the discretion of the Director of Student Conduct. Prior determinations made or sanctions imposed under these procedural standards will not be subject to change because criminal charges arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of College rules are later dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or against the criminal law defendant. Academic, administrative, student services, and recreational facilities are open to members of the general public during regular business hours. Individual academic departments establish access policies in academic buildings during hours when classes are not in session.
