Fire and Fire Safety
No fires or open flames are permitted on University property or in any facility operated by the University. Staff and faculty are obliged to immediately stop any such use and report the event through the Incident Report form at nl.edu/letusknow.
Students are to cooperate fully whenever a fire alarm is sounded and proceed to fire exits quickly and calmly. Failure to cooperate with University or fire department personnel will result in disciplinary action.
Please be advised false activation of a fire alarm is a crime, which is vigorously prosecuted as a felony. Law enforcement considers these offenses to be serious as they represent the potential for serious injury during an evacuation and diversion of critical fire department personnel. The University does not tolerate or excuse intentional discharge of the fire alarm stations on its properties. National Louis University will prosecute, to the fullest extent allowed by law, anyone found making or causing a false activation of the fire alarms. Further, it will take disciplinary actions against such individuals, up to and including, dismissal from the University. Punishment for conviction of false fire alarm activation includes significant monetary fines and felony imprisonment with terms as long as 3 years.
