Safety and Security
The University of Austin takes our students’ safety seriously.
We have partnered with the Austin Police Department, the Downtown Austin Alliance, Block by Block, and Watchmen Security to help ensure that our students, staff, and faculty are safe, both on and near campus.
Our Scarbrough Building campus is access-controlled, and has on-premise UATX Security for all hours and events when students are on site. Student, Employee, and Visitor IDs are checked upon entry.
Our student housing partner- The Union on 24th- has on-premises 24/7 security, and a fob is needed for all building entrances, amenities and all student suites. Additionally, the University of Austin employs AlertMedia for our own app-based emergency alert and response system to notify students in the event of an emergency, including weather emergencies.
