        1. Reporting Criminal Actions and Other Emergencies Occurring within Clery Geography
          1. Reporting Crimes and Emergencies.

762. The University of Utah does not have a police or security force on the Incheon Global Campus. The Incheon Global Campus falls within the police jurisdiction of the Incheon Yeonsu Police Station, 138 Woninjae-ro, Yeonsu 2(i)-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea.  Therefore, students and others who become aware of criminal actions or other emergencies anywhere within Clery Geography should report these to the Incheon Yu Yoensu Police.  Their telephone number is 82-32-453-0762.  In case of emergency, dial 1-1-2. 

763. Criminal actions may also be reported to the individuals or offices listed below. Reports made to these persons or offices will be included in the statistical report in the Annual Security Report for the Utah Asia Campus but generally will not be reported by those offices to the Incheon Yeonsu police for investigation.

Chief Administrative Officer 032-626-6009 119 Songdo Munhwa-ro, Yeonsu-Gu, Incheon, Korea 21985
Dean of Students 032-626-6006 119 Songdo Munhwa-ro, Yeonsu-Gu, Incheon, Korea 21985
Dean of Faculty 032-626-6003 119 Songdo Munhwa-ro, Yeonsu-Gu, Incheon, Korea 21985 

 

  1. Timely Warnings. The University shall provide timely warnings to the UAC community when Clery Act Crimes are reported to a CSA and are determined by the Chief Administrative Officer to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees at the Utah Asia Campus. Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to Chief Administrative Officer. The University may issue these warnings via postings at the Utah Asia Campus, through email, through Kakao text, or in other ways. The individual or office responsible for issuing the warning will vary depending on how the warning is issued.
  2. Reporting Crimes on a Voluntary, Confidential Basis. Individuals who witness or are the victim of crime, but who wish to remain anonymous, may report the crime to the University on a confidential basis. To do so, individuals should specifically request that they remain anonymous. The report ensures that the occurrence of the crime will be included in the University’s ASR and allows the University, in appropriate circumstances, to alert the campus community to potential dangers. Filing an anonymous report may limit the ability of the University to provide specific assistance or to investigate the criminal conduct.
  3. Professional and Pastoral Counselors. Professional Counselors and Pastoral Counselors, when acting in such capacity, are not required to report crimes disclosed to them for inclusion in the ASR. However, as described in the accompanying Procedure P1-011A, Professional and Pastoral Counselors are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of how to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the ASR.
  4. Preparing the Annual Disclosure of Crime Statistics and Annual Report. In order to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, the ASR Administrator for the UAC in cooperation with other University units, prepares an Annual Security Report that includes a disclosure of crime statistics. The full text of this report can be found on the UAC Website at [link]. Campus crime, arrest and referral statistics include those reported to Campus Security Authorities and those collected (if any) from local law enforcement agencies. Each year, notification is sent [by email or other means] to all enrolled students, staff and faculty of the UUAC providing the website address or other source for obtaining the annual report. In addition, paper copies of the report may be obtained from the Dean of Students, 119 Songdo Munhwa-ro, Yeonsu-Gu, Incheon, Korea 21985 or by calling +82-032-626-6009. Prospective students and employees are also notified of the availability of the report.

Security of and Access to Campus Facilities
Security for the Incheon Global Campus is provided by the Incheon Global Campus Foundation (“IGCF”).  IGCF provides security guards on campus who patrol the campus 24 hours per day.  In addition, IGCF has installed CCTV cameras throughout the campus that are monitored by IGCF security.  

The UUAC building on the Incheon Global Campus is open to the public during designated hours.  The building is secured when not open to the public.  The building is locked remotely on a time switch and is only accessible by authorized faculty and staff.   

Student housing on the Incheon Global Campus is operated and controlled by the IGCF which provides access to, and security for, the student housing.  Student housing is locked at all times and is only accessible by students having valid ID cards. 

Other buildings on the Incheon Global Campus that have common use among all of the higher education institutions at IGC are generally open and accessible during designated hours.  The buildings are locked outside of regular hours.

To the extent that the UUAC administrative staff become aware of safety and security concerns regarding the Incheon Global Campus (e.g., adequacy of and access to security personnel, lighting, etc.), the UUAC staff meet with representatives of the IGCF to express such concerns and urge improvements to safety and security.  The UUAC and IGCF work together to conduct annual campus risk surveys to identify safety and security vulnerabilities and to implement corrective actions. The IGCF also provides opportunities for the campus community to report problems and concerns directly, such as 24 hour telephones and an online reporting form.

  1. Campus Law Enforcement
    1. Jurisdiction. The University of Utah does not have any law enforcement or security personnel at the UUAC.  The Incheon Global Campus is located within the law enforcement jurisdiction of the Incheon Yeonsu Police Station, 138 Woninjae-ro, Yeonsu 2(i)-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea.  Telephone:  82-32-453-0762.  The Incheon Yeonsu Police have responsibility for investigating and resolving crimes occuring on the campus.

  2. Emergency Response and Evacuation
    1. Confirmation and Notice of Significant Emergency or Dangerous Situation
      1. Upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus, the University will notify the UUAC campus community using the procedures described in UUAC Procedure P1-001 accompanying this Policy. UUAC Procedure P1-011 describes the process the University will use to confirm the emergency, determine the content of the notification, and initiate the notification system. The Procedure also lists titles of persons or organizations responsible for carrying out this process as well as procedures for disseminating emergency information to the larger community.
      2. The University will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
    2. Testing of Procedures. The University will maintain procedures, to annually test the University’s emergency response and evacuation procedures.
    3. Missing Student Notification
      1. Incheon Global Campus Housing. The University of Utah does not own or control the student housing on the Incheon Global Campus. Student Housing is owned, controlled and managed by the Incheon Global Campus Foundation.
      2. Reporting a Missing Student. Because the University of Utah does not own or control the housing at the UUAC, it is not obligated under the Clery Act to provide notification for students missing at the UUAC.  Nevertheless, the University encourages its student and employees who become aware that a student has been missing from student housing for twenty-four hours, to make a report to the UUAC Dean of Students 010-6241-6003.  Upon such notice the Dean of Students will communicate with the IGCF to try and obtain more information about the student identified as missing.
