Lion Card - Your Student ID
A student ID card, also known as the Lion Card, is issued to all new students and is your official college identification. Lion Cards are used for admission to the campus and access to its facilities. Effective January 2017, your Lion Card must be worn visibly at all times while on campus and must be presented and swiped at all building entrances each and every time. You also may be asked for other identification. You must show the ID card if it is requested.
Abuse of an ID card could result in disciplinary action by the College. If the card is lost or stolen, contact the Department of Public Safety in MG-12 at Main Campus or the main Public Safety desk at each Regional Center for information about replacing it. Each replacement ID card is $10.
Funds may be loaded onto your Lion Card by the card holder and can be used in Roary’s Café, the Bookstore, to purchase tickets for events and activities, and for the discounted parking rate at the Main Campus Garage and discounted copies in Business Services (MG-25).
Card holders can make cash deposits to their Lion Card using a Value Port; one Value Port is located in the Pavilion Building and one is located at the Northeast Regional Center. Deposits using a credit card can be processed through the cardholder’s Lion Card account which is accessed through the Lion Card link located on MyCCP under the Campus Life tab. More information including FAQ’s and Terms and Conditions can be found on the Lion Card link. Funds can also be loaded using the CBORD GET App available for smartphone users.
Public Safety
The Department of Public Safety operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Main Campus and the Regional Centers are staffed with Public Safety Specialist, plus stationary and roving patrol officers. Campus Patrol Officers patrol the interior and exterior of the campuses. The roving patrols include the parking lots and other parking areas located on campus. In addition to our roving patrols, we are equipped with state-of-the-art Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras located throughout our campuses. The CCTV cameras are monitored by Public Safety Specialist 24 hours daily.
The Public Safety Communications Center is located in MG-12. Dial extension 5555 from campus phones for an emergency situation. Otherwise, this facility can be reached at any time by dialing (215) 751-8111.
All campus accidents and injuries, or any hazardous situations, should be reported at once to the department office (MG-12) or to the nearest Public Safety/Security station. The Public Safety stations are located at each main entrance to the College.
Public Safety will be summoned quickly in an emergency by dialing extension 5555 from any College telephone. Special red ‘house phones’ are located in hallways throughout campus for internal use.
Lost or found items should be reported to the Department of Public Safety, MG-12.
Campus Emergency Communications
The College has a number of mass emergency communication streams to advise, warn and give information in the event of a college emergency. These include:
- Text messaging, email blast, voice: Our Send Word Now® system will notify all students of closing, delayed openings or an emergency situation on campus.
- On Campus mass communication system: Alertus® communications is a visible box located at strategic areas throughout the campuses. It sends and audio as well as visual message of an emergency to the entire campus or targeted areas.
- Classroom Public Announcement (PA): Our VOiP system is featured with the ability to send messages to classroom phones to alert faculty and students of any emergencies on campus.
Telephone - Primary Number and Cell Number
The primary and cell phone numbers will be used for all College business, including emergency communications. Updates to these numbers will overwrite any previously supplied information to the College. The Cell Phone 2 will be used ONLY for emergency communications. Please note that in order to receive a text message, at least ONE cell phone number must be filled in. If you do not want to receive text messages to a number, simply do not choose the option receive emergency communications for that number.
Email - Community College of Philadelphia Email and Other Email
The Community College of Philadelphia email and other email will be used for all College business, including emergency communications. You will have the ability to enter one additional non-Community College of Philadelphia email which will ONLY be used for emergency communications.
The information you provide will determine the resources by which you receive urgent notifications. Keep these things in mind:
- Provide enough information to reach you instantly regardless of the time of day. If, for example, you usually turn your cell phone off at work, it should not be provided as the only way of reaching you.
- Do not enter a phone number more than once. Please provide unique direct-dial numbers and email/text addresses that go directly to you.
When in doubt, please provide more points of contact rather than less.
The information you provide will remain private. Send Word Now has signed a confidentiality agreement with the College. They will not use this information for any other purpose except notifications initiated by the College. Also, Send Word Now will never ask for sensitive information, such as credit card information or your Social Security Number, which might be used for identity theft. If you receive an invitation from Send Word Now that does not conform to these guidelines, please do not accept the invitation - report it.
