  • Provide a security presence during peak hours 
  • Maintain and monitor security cameras and alarms on campus

  • Monitor parking on the campus 
  • Activate access cards as requested 
  • Speak to student classes on how to stay safe on campus during the day and night.

After-hours campus access is processed by our team. Certain areas may require authorisation, so you will need to check with your lecturers.
