PLEASE ONLY share the code with those who need direct access to SCB (for pick-up/drop-off, etc.)
2) Front vestibule intercom for entry of individuals who do not have the code. Please feel free to press the intercom button if you require entry into the facilities. SCB will have a front office staff person monitor the intercom during regular business/class hours.

4) Alarm system complete with cameras and motion detectors to secure all perimeter doors. No unauthorized person will be allowed access inside SCB facilities.
Additionally, SCB policy asks that students:
