Campus safety: What you need to know

It’s important that all students, faculty and staff familiarize themselves with campus safety and know what to do in an emergency.

Let's work together to build a culture of safety and care at SFU.

Do you know what to do in an emergency?

For an emergency on campus, dial 911 first. If you dial 911 from a campus phone, Campus Public Safety will be automatically notified of the call location. A phone is located in every classroom. Urgent assistance is also available 24/7 at each of our campuses by simply dialing 778-782-4500.

Fire and emergency safety routes are posted in all classrooms and buildings. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits and procedures so you know what to do in case of emergency.

Visit campus safety and security for more information.

Safe Walk

The Safe Walk program provides SFU community members with a Campus Public Safety escort to support safe travel on campus 24/7.

To request a Safe Walk escort, call the Campus Public Safety non-emergency line, 778-782-7991.

At SFU’s Burnaby campus, you can request a Safe Walk to anywhere on campus. On Surrey campus, you can request an escort to nearby transit stops. While on Vancouver’s campus, Safe Walk is offered in a two-block radius, to the nearest bus stop, or between buildings until 10:30 p.m.

Visit Safe Walk for more information.

First Aid

For minor injuries, call Campus Public Safety, or if an injured person can walk, proceed to the nearest First Aid facility at all three campuses.

Campus Safety Guides

There are a number of helpful Campus Public Safety guides covering a number of topics such as: wildlife, controlled substances, harassment, scams and fraud, theft prevention and students in distress. Please take the time to review the SFU Campus Public Safety guides to help be a champion of safety at SFU.
