Safety Information & Protocols

Safety is a shared responsibility

The University of Minnesota has a comprehensive and layered approach to safety. In addition to the housing-specific measures described on this webpage, all residents are encouraged to review the Safe Campus website and learn about campus-wide programs like 624-WALK, Gopher Chauffeur, GopherTrip, and the Rave Guardian app. You can use these services when traveling to and from your residence hall/apartment or anywhere on or near campus. 

Emergencies

Text on a maroon background stating, "If you need emergency assistance, call 911 immediately." A gold M is undereath.

In the event of an accident, injury, health crisis, or other types of emergencies, call 911 immediately and then contact the Community Advisor on Duty or your community's Information Desk for additional support.

Seconds count in an emergency, so don't wait or assume someone else will call.

Safety in our on-campus Gopher community

As a staff, we consider maintaining the safety of all those who live in, work at, and visit our communities to be one of our most important jobs. This is a responsibility we take seriously.

Residents’ Responsibilities

As a resident, you are also responsible for helping protect the safety of our community. Below are important actions that you must do to protect your home on campus and our entire Gopher community.

We understand that it can feel uncomfortable to talk with peers or report information about concerns in the building. However, we all have a responsibility to keep our buildings as safe as possible.
