Campus Safety

Safety First!

Campus Safety encompasses campus protection including:  first aid, CPR and emergency response procedures. Campus security officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are equipped with radios and cell phones, and have immediate communication with students, as well as local emergency services. Campus safety has also incorporated an Emergency Alert text system that alerts students and staff to campus emergencies. Campus Safety is an extension of the Office of Student Life.

Safety Philosophy
Trine Safety staff acts as facilitator to those in need, helping them to understand and comply with the University's rules, policies and directives. This is achieved through patience, understanding, and guidance, offered in a firm, fair, and respectful manner. Interaction with students, guests, and staff is conducted with respect to personal dignity, and in an unobtrusive, low-key manner.

Sexual Misconduct / Assault Policies and Processes
Trine University believes in a zero tolerance policy for sexual misconduct. Members of the Trine University community, guests, and visitors have the right to be free from sexual violence. All members of the community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. The Trine University Sexual Misconduct/Sexual Assault Policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for the individuals whose rights have been violated.
