Security at SCAD

The need for security at every university, no matter how big or small, is a reality of the times. SCAD strives to provide the university community with a safe environment. 



Hand-activated emergency call boxes are strategically located throughout SCAD in Savannah and Atlanta to automatically signal a 24-hour security dispatcher. Security officers or building greeters are posted at many SCAD buildings to check IDs and log in visitors. Security staff offers safety-awareness programs. 



On both locations, an extensive shuttle service is offered to assist students with getting to and from SCAD facilities. You can follow the Bee Line online.

In the event a situation arises at SCAD or in the community that constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, university-wide warnings will be issued through the SCAD e-mail system and posted on MySCAD.

In Savannah, the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department offers an online community crime mapping feature. Learn more about neighborhood safety. Security officers patrol SCAD facilities 24/7/365 and, through various programs, work closely with the student services staff to educate the university community and individuals about personal safety.

  The Rape Aggression Defense Systems self-defense course is free of charge to all women in the SCAD community and is taught by certified faculty and staff. For more information, visit the R.A.D. Systems Web site, read the information posted in MySCAD or contact SCAD security.

In accordance with Article II of the Student's Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act, SCAD provides a full report of the past year's crimes. The security report is available online and in the security office in Savannah and student services office in Atlanta. 



In accordance with the Clery Act, a daily log and a weekly summary are kept of university security incidents in Atlanta and Savannah.
