Safe Walk

We encourage individuals to take advantage of the campus Safe Walk program. Security Services staff provide a point-to-point escort anywhere on campus.

Upon request to the Security Services Office, individuals can obtain an escort to points between buildings and parking lots, and be given approved access buildings on campus, 24 hours a day.

Potential users of this service are reminded that the availability of officers to respond to a call for this service is based on current dispatch priorities at the time the request is made. Some delay in responding to an escort request may be inevitable.

Contact: or 902-566-0373.

“Campus Alone” is a BCA program initiated and provided by Security Services. It is available to all members of the campus community who work or study on campus, outside of normal working hours, (i.e., evenings, nights, and weekends).
