Campus Security
Ozarks' Student Life staff takes your security very
seriously. Outside doors to the residence halls are
locked outside of normal visiting hours. Doors to other
campus facilities are locked unless a special event is
taking place in that building -- after the event is over,
campus security personnel secure the building. The doors
to the residence halls and all other campus buildings
are checked throughout the night by security personnel
to ensure that they have not been propped open or left
unlocked.
Campus Security personnel patrol the campus seven days
a week on this schedule:
Weekly 8:00 am - 7:00 am
Saturday 7:00 am - Sunday 7:00 am
Sunday 7:00 am - Monday 7:00 am
If you need to reach campus security from telephone on campus dial
2020. Off-campus calls can be directed to (479) 979-2020.
The Student Life staff is also on call 24 hours a day to
help with any safety or security issues. From telephones on campus
dial 4977, or dial (479) 979-4977 from off-campus.
