  • Uniformed, certified security personnel
  • On-site health services, including a registered nurse
  • Video surveillance systems
  • Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
  • Mass notification technology, including beacons, signage, and text messaging

Personal safety tips

While NorQuest strives to provide a safe and secure environment, personal awareness and preparedness play an important role in overall campus safety.

Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and practice good personal safety habits.

Tips for staying safe:

  • Be aware of your surroundings (e.g., building hours, bus schedules, and locations of security personnel)
  • Stay in well-lit areas whenever possible
  • Secure vehicles and personal belongings
  • Do not leave personal items unattended
  • Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, evacuation routes, and key contact information
