Uniformed security officers are on duty on campus 24 hours each day. During evening hours, uniformed or student security guards patrol outside the residence halls. As part of their routine patrols, University safety and security personnel patrol the areas around the houses, duplexes and apartment buildings that make up the University Villages.

While taking every precaution, the University cannot assume responsibility for your personal security or the security of your possessions. Evansville is a good city in which to live while attending college. However, certain precautions should be taken concerning security for you and your property.
