Security on Campus

The Public Safety Department works to create and maintain a safe and secure environment 24 hours a day.  There are three code-blue emergency phones on the Lawrenceville campus and one code-blue emergency phone on the Princeton campus that provide connection to the Public Safety Office.

Sodium vapor lights have been installed by the Facilities Management Department.  The lights are designed to enhance visibility, illuminating all parking areas, buildings, and walkways.  To report a light out call the Facilities Management Department at 896-5080 or submit a work order.

There are 10 residence halls in the East Village, and 1 residence hall, 1 graduate student house (Ridge house), and 7 Greek houses in the West Village on the Lawrenceville campus. Access to exterior doors of most residences is controlled by a Card Access System of electronically encoded photo ID cards.

On the Princeton campus, there are three residence halls currently in operation. A Card Access System of electronically encoded photo ID cards are in use for entrance into residence halls. Students wanting to use the music practice rooms in the residence halls must use their photo ID card to gain entry.  After 11 P.M. no non-resident will have access to the reidence halls.

Public Safety officers lock all of the academic buildings nightly and conduct routine security walkthroughs in the residence halls on both campuses.
