Crime Location Definitions
The following abbreviated definitions are provided to assist you in understanding how the crime statistics are applied:
Campus
- Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution's educational purpose, including residence halls; and
- Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in list item (1) of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person that is used frequently by students and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor). The Belleville, Granite City and Red Bud campuses are considered campus property.
Residential Halls
Currently, Southwestern does not maintain on-campus dormitories or resident halls.
Non-Campus
- Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution, or
- Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of, or in relation to, the institution’s educational purposes, is used frequently by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution. The Programs and Services for Older Persons (PSOP), athlete apartments, off-campus sites, to include Community Education and Adult Basic Education courses, are included as non-campus buildings or property.
Public Property
All public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks and parking facilities, that are within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. The St. Clair County Transit District, MetroLink and MetroBus station, adjacent to the Belleville Campus is considered public property. The Bowling Alley adjacent to the Sam Wolf Granite City Campus is considered public property, and the park adjacent to the Red Bud Campus is considered public property.
