The Art Institute of New York City’s faculty, staff, and administration are concerned that every student enjoys a safe and secure environment. Crime awareness and campus security are matters for which every student must take personal responsibility. The Art Institute Student Conduct Codes strictly prohibit the possession of weapons and the unlawful use of alcohol, controlled substances, and drugs on the campus or in School sponsored housing. Violation of these rules or criminal acts of any kind may result in prompt disciplinary action including expulsion. Pursuant to the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, the School Security Policy and Report is available to prospective students upon request to the Director of Public Relations. The report discusses among other things, the importance of prompt reporting of crimes to school officials and local police, School security procedures which encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others, counseling, and other assistance available from the School to any student who may be the victim of a crime.
