4.1 Security on campus
Security is of the utmost importance to all at CIS, and we aim to provide a safe and secure environment for the entire CIS community. CIS employs 24-hour security officers at both campuses to secure the entrances and perimeter of the school grounds. Find more information about campus security on My.CIS.
Everyone who enters CIS is required to show photo ID to our security personnel with the exception of CIS students in uniform. Further protocols may be implemented as needed and will be shared via official CIS communications.
