Safety Tips and Resources

While the college would like to hear about positive or challenging situations that occur off campus, we cannot take the place of the Memphis Police Department (MPD) or City of Memphis Code Compliance. You should notify MPD of any suspicious people, incidents, vehicles, or anything else that does not seem right. Code Compliance can be reached at (901) 636-6500.  

CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY IF: 

  • You see people trying vehicle door handles or looking into cars and houses. Lock your doors. 
  • You see any unknown person peeking over your fence, in your backyard, or in your garage. 
  • You see an unfamiliar person in your neighbor’s house, yard, garage, or carport. 
  • You see an unfamiliar vehicle driving slowly through your area repeatedly looking at residences or taking pictures of houses. 
  • You hear any suspicious noise like glass breaking, gunshots/firecrackers, and house/car alarms. 
  • For your safety, do not follow any suspicious people. Get as much information (person, clothing, vehicle description, and license tag number) as possible and call 911.  

General Safety Guidelines:

  • Be aware of your surroundings.
  • Trust your instincts. Report suspicious behaviors or situations to Campus Safety.
  • When you call Campus Safety, be specific and share behaviors such as "There is a person standing on the sidewalk who seems to be waiting to enter the building."
  • Don't walk alone after dark. Go with a friend, group, or request an escort by calling (901) 843-3880.
  • Please take a moment to save the Campus Safety phone numbers into your cell phone:

Emergency Number: (901) 843-3333

Non-Emergency/Escort Number: (901) 843-3880

Parking Safety Guidelines:

  • In Parkway Hall, use the rear doors (north doors that face the parking lot) and access campus via the gate and bridge to the Phillips Lane Entrance at the crosswalk.
  • In Spann and Stewart, use the rear door (southwest door that faces the parking lot) and access campus via the Bailey Lane Entrance at the crosswalk.
  • Anytime you park, make sure your car doors are locked and remove any items from sight.

Exterior Door Safety Guidelines:

  • When entering and exiting buildings, make sure all exterior doors close tightly behind you.
  • Do not prop doors for any reason.
  • Do not let unknown individuals into the building or your room. It's okay to tell individuals that you cannot allow them in and that they should contact their host or call Campus Safety.

Residence Hall Safety Guidelines:

  • Remember to always lock your residence hall room doors and windows even when sleeping or inside. Do not prop the door or leave it unlocked.
  • Don't loan your keys to anyone, and don’t mark your keychain with your name or address.
  • If you or your roommate lose your key, report it to Residence Life immediately.
