CAMPUS CRIME STATISTICS Providing a safe instructional, living, and working environment is an important goal at UAA and its community campuses. UAA is required by federal law to report crimes that occur on campus and at off-campus locations where University classes and other sponsored activities occur. Those statistics are available by clicking on the links below.
RELATED CAMPUS SECURITY REPORT INFORMATION Kenai Peninsula College is relatively safe, but rarely, crimes do occur here. The
Soldotna Police Department has commissioned police officers and dispatchers available when needed. Although campus administration and the police department can do certain things to minimize criminal activities, they cannot prevent these crimes without the full support of students, faculty, and staff.
When students, staff, faculty or visitors have a safety concern, witness or experience a breech of the Code of Conduct or a crime, campus administrators are the first point of contact. The campus director, student services coordinator, or other available staff or faculty should be notified immediately. If no University employee is available, the police department should be contacted. The campus administration solicits your active support in reporting all crimes and incidents.
Campus facilities are accessible to members of the community and to guests and visitors during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, and for limited hours on Saturday and Sunday, while school is in session. During semester breaks, hours of access may be greatly reduced. Most buildings are closed to all but faculty and staff for University-observed holidays.
There is no on-campus housing. Students should contact the Soldotna Police Department or the
Alaska State Troopers for assistance when needed from their residence. The
Dean of Students Office provides on-going safety information publications. Students are encouraged to walk together to the parking lot, particularly at night, and may request an escort from campus staff or faculty.
