All emergencies (fire, medical, crimes in progress) should be reported to the University Police. The University Police will respond to all calls for assistance and coordinate the response of other emergency personnel as needed.
The University community is encouraged to report any on-campus crime for which they are a victim or witness. The University Police investigates all reported crimes and assist the victim in prosecuting the case through the criminal courts. Students who commit crimes on the campus are subject to both criminal prosecution as well as disciplinary action through Student Judiciary.
The University Police operate the campus warning network (Wolf Alert) and Wolf Guardian which is a service that turns your cell phone into a campus panic button. Both services are free and you can register for both by logging into the Portal and clicking on the icons within the University Police Box.
