Campus Public Safety provides on-going programs to educate members of the campus community about safety practices.
Available at 13 locations across the campus, Blue Light Emergency phones connect directly to the Campus Public Safety dispatch center. Simply press and release the button marked “PUSH” (no dialing is necessary) to be automatically connected. After four rings if the cell phone is not answered, the call is forwarded to the UVM Police Department.
Residence halls are locked 24/7 except for specific events such as first year move-ins. Residence halls can only be accessed with a valid key card.
Administrative and academic buildings are open to the general public during regular business hours. These buildings are locked daily after 5:00 PM.
If you are worried for your safety, call CPS for an escort any time day or night. They can escort you from Point A to Point B on campus, including 194 St. Paul Street. An escort is also available to provide vehicle transportation to the University of Vermont Medical Center for non-emergency medical attention.
