Courtesy Services

Room and Building Unlocks

If you require assistance accessing a building or room on campus, please contact us at 312-329-4357 or dial “HELP” (x4357) from any campus phone.  Officers may request written permission or other formal documentation of your access privileges to comply with the building access policies.

Jump Starts

If you need a jump start, please contact us at 312-329-4357 or dial “HELP” (x4357) from any campus phone.  This service is only available for vehicles parked on campus.

Vehicle Lockouts

If you are locked out of your vehicle, please contact us at 312-329-4357 or dial “HELP” (x4357) from any campus phone.  This service is only available for vehicles parked on campus.  Please note that in order for an officer to unlock your vehicle, you must sign a waiver and provide proof of ownership (a valid government ID and vehicle registration is typically sufficient).

Safety Escorts

If you’re off-campus and feel your immediate safety is threatened, please call 911.

If you feel unsafe walking anywhere on campus, you can contact our dispatch center 24/7 at 312-329-4357 or dial “HELP” (x4357) from any campus phone to request a safety escort.  We can also provide safety escorts to and from the CTA Brown Line stop at Chicago & Franklin or the CTA Red Line stop at Clark & Division.

Safety escorts may be provided by either an officer on foot or by a patrol vehicle, depending on the location.  Please understand that this courtesy service is subject to officer availability; we’ll do our best to accommodate your request, but we do not have dedicated staff for safety escorts at this time and other calls may take priority.
