Safety on Campus

It’s not just your parents who want to ensure that your first year at Michigan is a safe one. Our community is at its strongest when everyone feels safe. In addition to the workshop, you’ll attend on-campus safety as part of your first-year experience programming, check out the resources below.

The U-M Dean of Students office provides all sorts of student safety resources. Whether you’re wondering about walking alone at night, Spring Break safety, speaking up when you see something unsafe, setting boundaries, bike safety, or tips for staying safe in your off-campus house, they have info to share.

Make sure you keep your property safe – the U-M Department of Public Safety and Security can help you register your electronics and bicycles to deter thefts and improve your chances of getting such important items returned to you. You also have a part to play – use the bike racks (u-bolt locks are best) and keep your valuables on you at all times or secured within a drawer or safe in your room. While you’re at it, consider not bringing valuable jewelry to campus and not carrying a lot of cash or important documents with you (social security card, pin numbers).
 

Be safe...
