How We Keep You Safe

24/7 Patrols

Full-time and part-time Campus Safety officers, along with an on-call team, patrol campus around the clock on foot, by vehicle, golf cart, Segway, and bike.

Emergency Phones

Fifteen blue-lighted outdoor emergency phones are located around campus, along with 106 emergency phones in campus buildings and every elevator. Each connects directly to Campus Safety.

Camera Coverage

Fifty-four closed-circuit television cameras monitor campus and are recorded and reviewed by Campus Safety.

Blackboard Connect Emergency Notification

Since 2007, GCU has used Blackboard Connect to send time-sensitive alerts, including weather delays, closings, and emergency notifications. Messages are delivered by voicemail, email, and text message.

Access Control

All four residence halls are secured 24 hours a day during the fall and spring semesters, with access managed through ID cards. The Ninth Street Gate, the Main Entrance, is open 24/7. The Seventh Street Gate has more limited hours.

Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to report all crimes, incidents, suspicious activity, and emergencies to Campus Safety.
