A college or university campus is an important part of the local community that it serves. As in any neighborhood, it is important that all students, faculty, and staff members realize that they should take every possible precaution to prevent assault and crime against themselves and others.
The administration of Nova Southeastern University recognizes that the University's campuses are part of the community and experience the risks and threats of society as a whole. NSU has established programs and systems involving personnel, procedural methods, and physical means in order to provide as safe and secure an environment on-campus as possible.
