The Department of Public Safety has three departments dedicated to campus safety. The Public Safety Emergency Communications Center (PSECC) is a 911 dispatch and monitoring center. University Security is a uniformed security department that focuses on safety escorts and providing security services. The University of Minnesota Police Department is a state licensed police department.
Maps available for a variety of campus resources, including restrooms & lactation spaces, study spaces, the Gopher Way tunnel system, parking & public transportation information, and more.
The University of Minnesota recognizes that safety means different things to different people at different times. That's why we work to support safety in the broadest sense through many tools, resources, services, and partnerships.
SAFE-U is the University’s emergency mass notification system. Rapid notifications in emergency situations are sent to students, faculty, and staff for incidents that occur within the University’s Geography.
In accordance with the University's official Emergency Operations Plan, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, portions of campus, or building(s) will be closed in the event that a situation poses a serious risk to the health, safety, or security of the University community, research animals, or other mission critical assets.
Class cancellation due to weather is not at the discretion of individual course instructors. In the case of inclement weather, instructors may also send email notification updates to the course rosters so please makes sure to check your email.
