Campus Lockdown

If a dangerous situation poses a serious threat to campus safety, a campus lockdown may be initiated. Lockdown alerts are issued through the WCC Bison Alert system and remain in effect until terminated by law enforcement.

If you are in a classroom

  • close and lock the classroom door if possible
  • move away from the door and close the window blinds
  • silence all electronic devices
  • keep low and out of sight
  • remain quiet until law enforcement issues further instructions or an “ALL CLEAR” is announced. 

If you are in a hallway or outside

  • enter the nearest building and secure the room immediately
  • If a building or room is not accessible, take cover behind any available object.
  • Remain in place until instructed otherwise by law enforcement.
