Personal safety

If you are ever concerned about the immediate safety of anyone on campus at any time, dial 911.

Safety at the university

Rutgers-New Brunswick is a vibrant community with tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff within the populated area of central New Jersey.  We recommend you follow the safe practices advice in the university publication Safety Matters.

This publication also contains information about safety activities and practices on campus.

Rutgers maintains an emergency text system for the university community.  If you are an employee or student, you can subscribe so that you get emergency text notifications.

Please visit and review the Rutgers Police and Public Safety website and the Emergency Response website.
