    Safety precautions 

    SCAD has taken the following precautions to help ensure the safety of the community: 

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

    Awareness and preparation 

    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 email 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 hours a day, seven days a week 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.
