Campus Safety
Contracted guards provide campus security at SCU. Campus Safety officers carry mobile radio/telephones so they can respond immediately to calls from any field location. The department provides a variety of services, including campus patrol, safety escort assistance, and parking enforcement.
Campus Safety can be reached by calling (562) 902-3333 or dialing extension 333 from any campus phone. Additionally, there are several yellow phone boxes and blue poles marked “Security” placed at various points on campus and in the parking lots. Remember to use “911” for any genuine emergency, thereby accessing police, fire, or paramedic response. Be sure to also call Campus Safety in such situations.
Emergency Notification
SCU uses Everbridge, a “cloud-based” emergency notification system that allows for communication of important messages to our constituents in an efficient and rapid manner. These messages are sent out via multiple mediums to each member of the campus community, including text and email, in order to inform them of the situation. Additionally, the notification will provide instructions to the receiving individual on how to respond to the notification. This response allows Campus Safety to determine which members of the campus community, if any, need assistance during any given emergency situation.
Should you have any questions or concerns please call or come by the office, located at the east side of Building F.
Parking Services
Parking permits are available online via the MySCU Parking Services page. Permits are available at no cost and must be printed and placed inside the vehicle. Vehicles parked in campus parking lots must display the parking permit. Further, given the University’s unique location amidst a residential neighborhood, University policy mandates that all campus community members (including students, faculty, staff, etc.) park on campus. All bicycles must also be parked in racks provided by the University.
