Creating a Safe U

Safety and security are among the University's top priorities. Below are some resources to promote campus safety.

  • Safety is Easy. The Pavement is Hard. Pedestrians, bikers, and drivers: Here are some simple safety messages to keep in mind as you navigate campus.
  • The Step Up campaign has been designed to help prevent sexual assault, campus crime, and excessive drinking. Step up and do what's right.
  • TXT-U, the University of Minnesota emergency notification text messaging system.
  • 624-WALK, a free walking or biking security escort service to and from campus locations and adjacent neighborhoods, available to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
  • Gopher Chauffeur, a free door-to-door van service offering rides on and near campus.
  • Wide-ranging safety and security measures in residence halls and apartments.
  • Twenty Code Blue Phones for immediate connection to a 911 operator at the University Police station.
  • 200 yellow phones for emergency, medical, and safety-related calls.
  • 2,300 security cameras monitored 24 hours a day.
  • A variety of University departments involved in planning for and responding to emergencies.
  • Nearly 200 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) located in buildings across campus.
