Health, Safety & Accessibility

Lander University makes every effort to provide a safe and secure living environment for our resident students, as well as the entire university community. Law enforcement patrols campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Professional staff and resident assistants live in each residential hall. Desk monitors, security systems and emergency phones are placed throughout campus. Residential doors are locked at all times - accessible only with a university issued key card to the assigned occupant.
