Room Entry/Inspection
Juniata College respects a student’s right to privacy, but the college reserves the right to enter any college room when necessary and appropriate.
The college conducts periodic health and safety inspections and maintenance visits to all college residence hall rooms-including at least one(1) health, safety and maintenance inspection during each semester. Room inspections also occur during fall break, Thanksgiving break, semester break and spring break. These inspections do not involve any type of search of the rooms, inspections involve only what is visible in the room, no searches are conducted.
The only time Juniata College Public Safety would search a student’s room in regards to seizure of items would be if there is reasonable cause to believe that a student(s) is using his or her room for a purpose in violations of federal , state, or local law or College regulations. Unless conducted by law enforcement, any search or seizure would need to be authorize by the Dean Of Students or a designee. Juniata College would give the student(s) involved the opportunity to be present during the search unless the student is unavailable. The student would be informed of the purpose of the search and notified of any findings that violate laws or college policy.
We reserve the right to enter any Juniata College room in event of an emergency. An emergency is defined as a situation in which a person’s health or well being is threatened and/or personal or college property is thought to be in immediate danger.
