Campus Safety

Your safety is of utmost importance. The University has received the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award for adopting technology and other initiatives to safeguard our students 24 hours a day.

LiveSafe is the official UB security and information app for students, faculty, and staff, available for Android and iPhone devices. LiveSafe allows users to send messages to Campus Security, share locations with friends or family, locate buildings on campus, and access emergency services and preparedness information. LiveSafe also allows University of Bridgeport to transmit messages to users, informing them of an event that may have a direct impact on health or safety.

The Campus Security Department is also responsible for providing the following support services:

• Issuing ID access cards to students, faculty, and staff to ensure safe and secure entrance to all buildings on campus
• Providing personal safety (walking) escorts on campus
• Maintaining a lost and found department
• Assisting on-campus motorists with vehicle jump starts and vehicle unlocks
• Providing the University community with crime prevention information

“The Center for Career Development at UB was a huge asset to me. I got my first political internship through UB career development, which gave me a foot in the door to a very competitive field.”
