November 2025 Safe Campus Update

First things first

When something urgent happens on or around campus, getting info fast matters. Make sure you’re set up to get SAFE-U text alerts — just head to MyU and go to My Info → Manage SAFE-U Alerts.

If you spend time in Dinkytown (living there, grabbing food, studying, all of it), you can also opt in to Dinkytown Alerts through MyU so you’re always in the loop.
