Duplicating Services

All duplicating services are performed through the college’s Print Center located in the Manufacturing Training Center.  The Print Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  The center is closed on Fridays in the summer.

  • Duplication requests must be submitted a minimum of 24 hours in advance.  If you require more than 20 copies, use the Print Center.  If the document is large, it may be more cost effective to use the Print Center regardless of the number of copies being made.

  • Please comply with copyright laws.
  • Personal duplicating services may be obtained in the Learning Resource Center.

To report the loss of items of significant value, contact Public Safety at 410-758-7275.

Public Safety

Chesapeake College works to enhance the level of security on campus to provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff and
visitors. The Department of Public Safety has primary responsibility for campus security and safety.

    Web site

Public Safety personnel provide patrol coverage for the Wye Mills Campus and answer calls for service while the campus is open for business. A security escort service to and from parking lots is available upon request.

Each building on campus has an emergency phone on each floor (first floor only in the Dorchester Building). There is also an emergency phone outside of the Public Safety Office. Look for the blue signs in hallways to locate an emergency phone.

Emergency phones are simple to use—pick up the handset, the phone automatically dials Public Safety. If Public Safety is unable to answer the phone within 4 rings, it will automatically go to 911. (You are not able to dial out on these phones.)
