The University Police believe that an informed community is a safer community. For this reason, the university encourages every member of the first-year class to complete Safe@UA – an interactive guide to increasing your safety skills. It is a video and assessment created by UA students, staff, and officers to complement the printed Saver Living Guide. Safe@UA is designed to heighten your awareness of crimes that may occur and provide you with the knowledge needed to minimize your risk of becoming a victim.

 What is Safe@UA?

Safe@UA addresses 5 major topics:

  • Preventing Theft
  • Personal Safety
  • Preventing Assaults
  • Emergency Preparedness & Response
  • UA Severe Weather Guidelines
Your responses are completely confidential!!!

 General Instructions for completing Safe@UA
