Nova Southeastern University's Office of Public Safety is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure campus environment for all members of the NSU community. We offer a range of services to assist you, including lost and found services, safety escorts, and vehicle assistance. Additionally, we encourage you to explore the various NSU resources available to support your overall well-being.
The NSU lost and found center is located within the NSU Public Safety Security Operations Center at the Campus Support Building on the Fort Lauderdale/ Davie Campus. It's open Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Phone inquiries are welcome 24/7. To inquire about or report any lost or stolen item, call NOVALERT at (954) 262-8999.
Note: A picture I.D. is required to claim property.
NSU Public Safety provides walking escorts upon request to anyone in the NSU community, on NSU property limits, 24 hours a day. Please call (954) 262-8999 and advise the on-duty dispatcher of the location where an officer can meet you.
Stuck with a dead battery or locked out of your car? Public Safety is available 24/7 to assist NSU community members within campus property limits in Fort Lauderdale/Davie and East Fort Lauderdale. Our services include jump-starts and unlocking vehicles. While we cannot change flat tires or perform mechanical repair work, we can help with minor issues like adding air to a tire (as long as it's not damaged). To receive assistance, you'll need to sign a release of liability form.
For emergencies, call NOVALERT at (954) 262-8999.
For non-emergency information, services, or reporting, call the Public Safety Office at (954) 262-8999 or use our contact form. A member of our staff will address your question or concern as soon as possible.
