Security tips for your safety

At UC, we’re lucky to generally have a safe campus, but it’s good to remember safety tips just in case you need them.  

Here are some simple things you can do to make our campus safer for you and everyone else. Check out our security tips and take charge of your own safety. 

For example, it’s important to use the recommended walking routes on campus at night – see the Safe walk map. Know your bus timetables to avoid long waits – especially if you’re alone. 

In an emergency, contact UC Security 0800 823 637 or 92111 (put the number in your phone) or use one of the 13 Help point towers on Ilam Campus.
