Campus Safety and Security

Miami is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students and members of the university community. While Miami's campus is relatively safe, crime does occur on campus. Each member of the university community has a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of the community. Everyone must participate in crime prevention efforts and develop good personal safety habits, including the following:

• Lock your apartment or residence hall doors.
• Don't prop open residence hall exterior doors and don't let people you don't know into the halls.
• Report any suspicious activity to Miami Police (or off campus to Oxford police).
• Secure your personal property.
• Walk in groups at night.
• Be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas with which you are not familiar.
• Use one of the following Nighttime Door-to-Door campus escort services:
  • Oxford campus 593-2716 (operates from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. M–W and until 4 a.m. Th–Sun)
  • Hamilton campus 785-3222 (campus security)
  • Middletown campus 727-3333 (campus security)
