Lynchburg College is located in a quiet but thriving city of approximately 64,000 residents. As in any city, threats can arise from people and circumstances external to the College. Remember that the campus is accessible by foot from any direction at any time. While nearby off-campus areas may seem like extensions of the campus, they may not be as secure-especially at night.

In general, College academic buildings and administrative office areas are locked each weekday after classes or daily usage hours end. At other times, facilities may be open for special, authorized purposes, such as campus presentations or performances and academic projects requiring extended work hours.

All residence halls are locked twenty-four hours per day. Residents’ ID cards allow them access to their respective buildings and to all other residence halls. Other College housing (Courts apartments, houses, and town homes) are locked and unlocked via keys issued to the assigned residents. Members of the College community and guests may visit students in College housing in accordance with the College’s visitation policy.

Yellow box telephones, located on the exterior front and back sides of each residence hall, may be used by guests to contact the resident with whom they wish to visit. Because these phones also have direct access to the campus security office, they may be used as emergency telephones.
