Safety First! Staying Safe on Campus

• Campus law enforcement is primarily the responsibility of the University Police, UA's very own police department. The University's 32 full-time police officers are commissioned by the State of Ohio with full law enforcement authority and responsibilities identical to the local police department or sheriff.

• UA students claim that they feel very safe on campus, but it is important to remember that UA is in an urban location. Use common sense when traveling around campus.

• Lock your doors.

• Do not leave belongings unattended.

• There are over 200 emergency phones on campus - utilize them if needed.

• Carry your keys in your hand when walking to your car at all times.

• There is safety in numbers. Walk with a friend.

• Utilize campus patrol if you must be on campus after dark. Campus patrol is an escort service available 5:00 P.M. - Midnight, 7 days a week. Simply dial x7263 on any campus phone. A campus patrol escort will meet you anywhere on campus and escort you to another on-campus location or to your vehicle.
