Reminder about campus safety
The Office of Campus Safety (OCS) is committed to protecting the rights of everyone on campus, while promoting a professional, respectful and safe campus environment. We value respect for others and believe safety and security are the responsibility of everyone on campus.
Here are a few initiatives that can help keep you safe on campus:
Reporting suspicious behaviour
If you have concerns regarding your personal safety, or if you observe behaviour that is suspicious or that may have a negative impact to the campus, contact Campus Security immediately at 905.721.8668 ext. 2400 or 905.721.3211.
Code Blue stations
Code Blue stations are three-metre red poles with blue lights on top, located in parking lots, footpaths and within the Campus Library. Each pole has a button you can press to gain instant contact with the Campus Security. Once notified, Campus Security will send a guard to your location and, if required, dispatch emergency services.
OCS location
The OCS administrative offices are located in the south wing of the Simcoe Residence Building, 1910 Simcoe Street North (south lobby), Oshawa, Ontario. These offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
OCS services include:
- Preventing crime.
- Solving problems that affect faculty, staff, students and the community.
- Promoting safety and security as the responsibility of everyone on campus.
- Ensuring students learn from their experiences and achieve success.
We encourage you to visit the Campus Safety services web page to familiarize yourself with the services and crime prevention initiatives OCS offers.
