Your Safety is Important to Us.
Safety is a big concern of yours – and ours. UCM is protected 24/7 by its very own Department of Public Safety that includes 19 uniformed officers and operates like any police department in the United States. Plus, our SAFE (Student Assistant Foot patrol and Escort) Team patrols the campus at night to help prevent crime and offers walking escorts. UCM also provides free self-defense programs taught by Public Safety officers. For increased security, all residential buildings with exterior door access have electronic locks. You can receive emergency messages, weather alerts and other important UCM information by signing up for TextCaster.
