Otis is committed to the safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff. The College assists in keeping the campus safe, but a safe campus can only be achieved through the efforts and cooperation of all students, faculty, and staff. This will assist you in working with the Otis community to ensure your safety and that of others.

The Student Handbook ("The HOOT") includes all emergency and safety information pertaining to Fire Safety, Lost and Found, the student Alcohol Policy, Effects of Drugs and Alcohol, and the Otis Code of Conduct.
