The top priority of the Department of Residence Life and Housing is the safety and security of our residents and staff.

All residential facilities (except historic houses) have one point of entry/exit either locked or monitored by a Residence Life and Housing (day-evening) or Public Safety (midnight-morning) desk attendant at all times. In the event of required evacuation, additional exit points open upon activation of our alarm system, automatically notifying CofC Public Safety. Conversely, all entry/exit points can be "locked down" if required.

Digital security camera systems record activity in key public areas of all residence halls, outdoor perimeters and building entrances/exits. Oversight terminals to view camera recordings in/around each residence hall are located at their respective security/reception desks and in Public Safety's headquarters. All motion and audio are recorded in these areas with live relay to Public Safety.

In addition to electronic means, all residence halls and historic houses are regularly monitored on foot by Public Safety officers. The Public Safety Office also provides personal escorts by foot or car for students walking across campus during the evening and late night hours.

Safety and security is a community effort. We welcome reports of suspicious activity or suggestions for improvement from residents, staff, students, parents and neighbors. Therefore, emergency call boxes have been installed throughout the campus. These boxes can be used to request assistance and to report suspicious or dangerous activities 24 hours a day.

CofC Public Safety may be reached every day at all hours by calling 843-953-5611 for emergencies and 843-953-5609 for non-emergencies.
