The goal of University Center is to provide a secure and comfortable living environment while offering support and stimulation to help students achieve academic success.

The safety of residents and the building is always forefront in the minds of UC staff. Our highly-trained security staff is on-site at all times. Additional security is provided by camera and foot surveillance and UC staff has a strong, established relationship with the Chicago Police Officers that patrol the area. The building is also fully equipped with sprinklers, modern fire and life safety systems and meets the City of Chicago student housing building codes and regulations.

Additionally, a special publication titled Safety and Security at University Center is available to every resident during move-in.  The UC staff actively encourages all residents to put forth the cooperative effort necessary to enhance the safety and security for everyone at UC. Entry to University Center is restricted to residents and authorized guests only. At all times, guests must present clear government-issued photo-identification, sign-in at the University Center Security Desk upon arrival and return a guest pass upon the end of their stay. Guests must be escorted by their host at all times throughout the building and may not use another's UC ID to access facilities.
