Personal Safety and Off Campus Affairs

The safety of our students is the University’s highest priority – both on and off campus. The University takes a multi-faceted approach to issues of safety and security. The Office of Personal Safety and Off-Campus Affairs helps to coordinate all aspects of student safety on this campus.

On campus, our University Police and Environmental Health and Safety Department focus on safety related issues with significant support from many other campus departments such as Residential Life.

Off campus, in the City of Albany, Albany City Police have jurisdiction over the areas where many of our non-resident students reside. East Greenbush Police maintain jurisdiction on the East Campus. The University works collaboratively and proactively with the City of Albany, the other local colleges, and the neighborhood associations on issues of student safety.
