Safety and health
At VCU, our goal is to keep you healthy, happy and safe while you’re here at your home away from home.
The university relays emergency information to students, staff, faculty and parents using text messages and e-mails, desktop alert messages sent to individuals on VCU’s wired and wireless networks, digital TV monitors located in major academic buildings and all residence halls, and the VCU Alert Web site.
VCU Police patrolling on bikes, in cars and on foot provide 24-hour protection on both the Monroe Park Campus and the MCV Campus. Yellow emergency telephones are located around both campuses offering immediate connection to the police dispatcher or to the Security Escort Service. The service provides walking or riding escorts at night if you’re headed home from class or a meeting.
