Division of Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs strives to advance the educational mission of the College by recognizing, affirming, and promoting the development of the whole student in a campus climate that is at the same time challenging and supportive.

By creating conditions, fostering environments, and developing programs and services that facilitate all facets of student development, the division encourages students to fully realize their educational experience both in and out of the classroom, while promoting our shared values of scholarship, engagement, global perspective, citizenship, diversity, character, personal accountability, personal well-being, and continuous learning.

Student Affairs is the umbrella organization for programs and services in the areas of residence life, leadership development, Greek life, counseling, academic assistance, career development, religious life, community service, healthcare services, developmental programming, concerns with alcohol and other drugs, student activities, student conduct, campus safety, campus governance, orientation, summer conferences, and academic camps.

Campus Safety and Police
119 W. Greenwich Street (open 24 hours a day)
610 861-1421 (in case of emergency: 911)

The Campus Safety and Police Office is responsible for maintaining a safe and pleasant environment in which to live, work, and learn.

The campus police are responsible for protecting life and property, preventing and detecting crime on campus, and providing essential safety services to the College community. Their presence eliminates the necessity of depending upon outside agencies for public safety services, but the Campus Safety and Police Office works closely with area law enforcement agencies and fire departments.

Campus police officers are commissioned in accordance with the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers Training Act (Act 120) and have full law enforcement authority in and upon all property owned, occupied, or used by the College. Campus police officers enforce the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ordinances of the City of Bethlehem, and the rules and policies of Moravian College.

Campus police officers patrol the campus on foot and in marked cars to ensure the safety of the College community. A police dog may accompany officers at times. Continual in-service training provides for professional delivery of law enforcement services.
The Campus Safety and Police Office offers crime prevention programs, including RAD (rape defense); an engraving service for property registration; and an escort service. It also supervises and regulates parking.

Timely Notification

The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) requires "institutions to give timely warnings of crimes that represent a threat to the safety of students and employees." Crimes required to be reported by the Clery Act include (as defined by the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook): criminal homicide, including murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, and negligent manslaughter; sexual offenses, forcible and nonforcible; robbery; aggravated assault; burglary; arson; motor vehicle theft; and arrests and/or disciplinary referrals for liquor-law violations, drug-law violations, and illegal weapons possession.

Such notifications are provided by a broadcast e-mail message through the institution's e-mail service in order to alert students, faculty, and staff in a timely manner to situations or crimes that may represent a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community, to heighten safety awareness, and, depending on the circumstances, to solicit information that may lead to an arrest and conviction. While every attempt is made to issue reasonably prompt notice, releases are subject to the availability of accurate facts concerning the incident.

Like most institutions, Moravian College, Moravian Theological Seminary, and the Comenius Center consider it important to send notices when necessary but not frivolously, given that the key to the effectiveness of a timely notice is that the notice itself is something out of the ordinary. Situations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis in order to determine whether there exists a serious or ongoing threat to the institutional community. Instances of a violent crime occurring between two individuals who know each other also are evaluated in this manner.

Timely notifications typically include the following information:

  • A succinct statement of the incident.
  • Any connection to previous incidents.
  • Physical description and/or composite drawing of the suspect, if appropriate.
  • Date and time the bulletin was released.
  • Other relevant and important information.
  • Appropriate safety tips.

When an incident occurs on campus which may merit a timely warning, the highest ranking police officer on campus at that time is empowered to decide whether or not one is merited and, if so, what the appropriate level of warning is given the situation, consulting with the director of campus safety/chief of police as necessary and possible. The officer or the dispatcher will issue the notification him- or herself if no additional consultation is deemed necessary due to low threat level or limited potential for harm (e.g., a situation of a rash of car break-ins).

In situations of greater concern or potential impact, when time permits, Campus Safety and Police consults with the Student Affairs Office and with the President's Office in order to decide whether such notice is advisable, taking into account the nature of the threat, the extent of the risk, the population at risk, and whether there is another, more possibly even more effective, way to minimize the risk of reoccurrance of the incident (e.g., a situation of alleged sexual assault).

When a situation appears to pose an imminent, significant threat for personal injuries or property damage (e.g., a situation involving a bomb threat), the emergency notification system will be deployed by Campus Safety and Police.

Emergency Notification System

The institution's emergency notification system will be used only for situations involving an imminent, significant threat of personal injuries or property damage. It will not be used to announce weather-related college closings or delays unless the closing or delay is due to an imminent threat of personal injuries or property damage. The system consists of a five-tier communications sequence, activated in the following order: (1) siren/public address message, (2) cell phone text message, (3) e-mail, (4) web posting, and (5) voicemail, as deemed appropriate.

Sirens/public address message: the first notification tier, sirens on the Main Street and Hurd Campuses, allows the institution to alert the campus community to an emergency. The sirens are deployed by Campus Safety and Police to provide immediate mass notification of the need for College community members to check their cell phones for a text message.

Text messaging: the second notification tier, e2Campus, enables the institution to send text messages to the cell phones of registered members of the campus community with information about what is happening and/or what precautions should be taken. Students and employees may register two cell phone numbers and two e-mail addresses. Every student, faculty member, administrator, and staff member who has a cell phone should register that cell phone number in accordance with instructions posted at http://amos.moravian.edu (the e2Campus link is under "quick links"). The purpose of sending a text message is to provide basic instruction (e.g., "shelter in place") and to alert people to check their e-mail for additional information.

All students are required either to register with e2Campus or to sign a form indicating that they do not have a cell phone or that they purposely choose not to enroll in e2Campus.

E-mail notification: the third notification tier, broadcast e-mail messaging, allows the institution to provide more detailed information about a situation, using the six-point timely notification content guidelines shown above.

Web posting: the fourth notification tier, web postings, allows the institution to provide more detailed information about a situation which may be viewed by those on and off campus, the latter including such constituents as parents and significant others.

Voicemail notification: the fifth notification tier, broadcast voice-mail messaging, allows the institution to provide more detailed information about a situation, when necessary, to employees on campus through the telephones on their desks (also accessible from off-campus locations).

Additional efforts are made to advise members of the campus community on a timely basis about any campus crime and crime-related problems. These efforts are in compliance with the Clery Act and include the following:

  • A safety and security report. Published annually and distributed throughout the College community. It is available to anyone requesting a copy.
  • Public log. A record of all crimes reported to the campus police, as well as the names of anyone arrested, is maintained in the Campus Safety and Police Office and is available for viewing during regular office hours.
  • Special alerts. Information can be accessed through College-wide email and the Campus Safety and Police website.

In accordance with the Wetterling Crimes against Children and Sexually Violent Offenders Registration Act, information about sexually violent offenders can be obtained by submitting a written request to the Campus Safety and Police Office, which will provide names and addresses of any such offenders known to it. Information is provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and does not violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Students seeking to secure an external protection from abuse order (PFA) or the campus equivalent should contact Campus Safety and Police or the dean of students. External PFAs are pursued through the local magistrate's office, with which Campus Safety and Police can be of assistance. Internal behavioral notices are pursued through the dean of students, who serves as a conduit to convey requests and potential follow-up actions to the other party.

In accordance with the Higher Education Act of 2009, each student living in residence has the option to register with the Student Affairs Office a confidential contact person to be notified in case the student is determined to be missing; only authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers have access to this information. All students should know that, even if they have not registered a contact person, local law enforcement will be notified if the student is missing; all students under 18 (and not emancipated) should know that their parent or guardian will be notified.

Publications explaining these and other services can be picked up at the Campus Safety and Police Office, the HUB desk, the Registrar's Office, or the Office of Student Affairs.

Counseling Center
1307 Main Street
610 861-1510

The Counseling Center provides individual, couple, and group counseling to undergraduate students enrolled in the day division program. Students experiencing personal difficulty, interested in gaining increased self-knowledge, or wanting to develop more efficient coping skills are encouraged to contact the Counseling Center. Four counselors, including two licensed psychologists and one licensed professional counselor, are on the staff, which also may include interns from graduate programs in counseling. All counseling sessions are confidential.

Counseling Center staff members will refer a student to off-campus professionals when it is perceived that this is necessary in order to meet his/her needs. It may be, for example, that the student requires more frequent, extended, or continuous services or requires the support of a professional with a particular expertise. Decisions of this nature are made on a case-by-case basis. In most cases, the Counseling Center continues to work with the student until he or she has had a reasonable amount of time to establish a relationship with a private counselor.


Disability Support Services

Students with disabilities (e.g., learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, neurological disorders, health, physical, mobility, hearing, visual, mental, health/psychiatric) should contact the assistant director of learning services for disability support for assistance and information.

The institution adheres to the principles and mandates of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, even when using mitigating measures, such as glasses, medication, prostheses, or hearing aids. Major life activities are functions such as breathing, caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, exercising cognitive abilities, sitting, standing, lifting, reaching, and working. The institution will provide reasonable accommodation, upon request, to students whose conditions meet the legal definition of a disability under the ADA and who are considered otherwise qualified.

Special classroom set-ups, alternate testing, physical plant (campus) alterations, and other accommodation for students with documented disabilities are available on a case-by-case basis. It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to self-identify and request accommodations through the appropriate office.

The institution has an accessible minibus which is used on a daily basis for runs between the two campuses. If it is needed for transportation between campuses at a time other than scheduled for such runs, the requestor must contact the Facilities Office at least two working days in advance so that a driver may be arranged.

Persons with a mobility impairment who require the use of the minibus for transportation between campuses on a regular basis are requested to submit a schedule of routine times and days they will need this service to the Facilities Office at least two weeks before the start of classes so that drivers can be scheduled accordingly.

The minibus generally will not be available for off-campus use by groups or departments for field trips unless it is requested to accommodate a mobility-impaired person or persons and unless it does not affect the needs of other passengers that require this bus for routine transportation between campuses.

Consisting of the full-time College chaplain and part-time Roman Catholic and Jewish chaplains, the Religious Life Office offers opportunities to become involved in faith-based programs, worship experience, and interfaith dialogue. The Moravian College Christian Fellowship (MCCF) is coordinated through this office, as is the Newman Association for Catholic students. Both organizations offer worship, fellowship, spiritual formation programs, and retreats, as well as periodic opportunities to travel off campus to meet other students with similar interests.

Borhek Chapel, located at the north end of Comenius Hall, may be used during the academic year by College organizations. It must be reserved by contacting the director of the HUB and event management at ext 1492.

The College chaplain offers weekly song and prayer gatherings at 10:00 p.m. Wednesdays in the Saal of the Bahnson Center (Moravian Theological Seminary) and at 6:00 p.m. Sundays in Prosser Auditorium.

Catholic Mass is celebrated in Borhek Chapel at 6:10 p.m. Sundays and as announced on holy days of obligation. The Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) is administered prior to Mass.
