UEI College is committed to ensuring the safety of all students, faculty and staff, so that everyone can feel safe and thrive in an environment that is free from harassment or danger and focus on learning and reaching both personal and career objectives. This means that UEI has procedures and policies in place that not only protect everyone on campus but ensure that campuses are free from any illegal or criminal activity, including but not limited to alcohol and drug abuse.
As a UEI College student, you are part of our community and we want to encourage you to work together with other students and staff to report any suspicious activity on campus, keep one another safe, and take personal responsibility for yourself. Being part of our community means that you can be a responsible member of our society that helps ensure the success and safety of everyone alike.
Be Cautious for Your Own Safety
Whether you are on campus or anywhere else, it is good practice to always be aware of your surroundings and be alert. While many areas are well lit and have security measures in place to keep you safe, there is no replacement for your own awareness. Below, you will find some tips to help keep you protected:
- Lock your vehicle doors, even when you are sitting in the car
- Keep the windows on your vehicle rolled up
- Do NOT keep any valuables out in plain sight
- Avoid walking alone to your car at night
- Avoid dark or deserted areas
- If you feel threatened or notice anything suspicious, immediately notify campus security or call 911
- Keep your belongings with you and do not leave them unattended
- Do not bring valuables or excessive amounts of cash on campus (only bring what cash is necessary)
- Listen to your gut (if you are not comfortable, get out of the situation right away)
- When listening to music, leave one earbud out to hear what is going on around you
- NEVER walk alone with someone you do not know
- Only carry what you can comfortably handle and do not overburden yourself
- Walk with a purpose and confidence (if you look confused, you may become a target)
- ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings
- Know where to go to get help and have your phone on you and charged

Unsure of a Situation? Report It!
UEI College encourages any student or campus employee who witnesses criminal activity being committed to report it immediately to the campus executive director, who is the campus security authority or CSA. Criminal activity that occurs on any sidewalks, near campus, parking lots, or adjoining streets should be reported immediately as well. If a student or campus employee cannot get ahold of the executive director or director or education, it is encouraged that you notify UEI College management.
