Campus Safety

NLU provides a safe, educational environment through a community approach to security and the promotion of personal safety. Security personnel enforce University regulations and coordinate contact with other law enforcement agencies to maintain the quality of safety on campus.

Responsibility for safety and security in the Chicago campus is delegated to the office of Campus Safety, in all other campuses that function is delegated to Facilities. The following are the emergency phone numbers for each NLU campus:
