Campus Safety

The campus will have an enhanced police presence and will be able to respond quickly to calls on campus. Use the Rave Guardian app to chat with dispatchers and send photos if you have them. If you see something, say something. 

 

The Stillwater community is hosting many concert events as well. Be careful when walking, biking, scooting or driving, particularly on campus; traffic may be unfamiliar with the campus and areas of heavy foot traffic. 

 

Residence Halls

• Please keep residence hall doors locked — when you leave and when you’re home.
• Do not prop open doors or allow unknown persons to follow you in once you use your ID card for access.
• If you live in a residence hall, you cannot rent out rooms to concertgoers.

Campus buildings 

• Do not prop open doors to any campus buildings.
• You will see additional security/police presence around campus buildings, particularly those closest to the venue.
