SECURITY

The American University of Rome is concerned about the safety of all members of its community and visitors to its campus. All members of the AUR community are requested to use their AUR ID card upon entering the facilities and wear it while on campus. All guests have to be checked in at the reception and wear the visitor’s badge if on campus unescorted.

All buildings are unlocked by Security. Security stands at the main campus gate and runs random checks during the day at the various nearby buildings. All buildings have an alarm system which is turned on and off by security. Security of the campus includes night patrolling tours.
Security, at closure time, checks that all doors and windows are locked, that everybody has left the premises and turns on the alarms. A network of cameras patrols the premises 24 hours a day.

Information on emergency procedures is included in all the University's handbooks. A list of emergency numbers is provided to all students during orientation and is available at all times from the Student Services office.

A Crisis Management Team and an Emergency Team are available in case of need.
