Public Safety and Parking
The Department of Public Safety, located in the Academic Center, is committed to fostering an environment in which all those who live, study, work, or visit within the University campus are able to do so in a safe and secure environment. The department is committed to providing professional, timely, and efficient public safety services to all its constituents on a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week basis.
Public Safety officers patrol the buildings and grounds of the University via vehicle, bicycle, and foot. Services provided by the department include personal safety escorts, motor vehicle assistance (unlocks and jump-starts), and emergency medical response and treatment, as well as maintaining a lost-and-found department. Public Safety also enforces parking and traffic regulations, provides key control and locksmith services, and investigates and documents incidents on campus. Public Safety is the emergency response department on campus and acts as the liaison with the local police, fire, and ambulance services.
All vehicles parked on campus must display a University decal, which can be purchased at the Bursar’s Office in the SC-Wing of the Academic Center. Temporary parking passes are also available at Public Safety and the Visitors Parking Pass Public Safety website portal.
