The Department of Campus Safety has several ways to ensure that the campus community remains a safe and secure learning environment, including CCTV surveillance cameras, an access-controlled facility, advanced fire control system, and the RAVE Emergency Notification System. The Campus Safety team is committed to providing safety and security services in a professional and consistent manner. RVU strives to provide these services with integrity, professionalism, and timeliness. Campus Safety personnel are present on campus from 5 a.m. to midnight, Monday – Friday and from 7 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and Sunday. They provide proactive patrols, safety escorts, investigations, crime prevention, and many other services. Students and employees who witness a crime, accident, emergency, suspicious person, or any other emergency should promptly call the Department of Campus Safety at (406) 901-2722 or contact emergency services by dialing 911. The Department of Campus Safety should be informed of all 911 calls so assistance can be provided to local law enforcement and/or other emergency personnel.
Students and employees will receive emergency notifications, including campus closures and weather delays via SMS text messages and email notifications. In the event a Timely Warning Notice is issued, the campus community will be notified as soon as possible through our Emergency Notification Systems in the form of SMS text messages, emails, and/or bull horn/public address system. Students, and employees will receive a text message notification of RVU campus closures or emergencies.
In order to ensure that students and employees receive these timely notifications, they are highly encouraged to register their personal contact information during orientation.
