without a credit card. Although payment is expected at the time of service,
no enrolled student is denied service if they can’t pay right away. Unpaid
charges will be placed on the University account. We accept cash, personal
check, TigerStripe and major credit cards. An itemized receipt is available
at checkout and online at MyHealth-e.

SAFETY
Campus Safety
Every member of the campus community is responsible for safety
awareness. The University strives to increase awareness by offering
educational programs and disseminating information related to personal
safety. The Clemson University Police Department (CUPD) is responsible
for campus law enforcement and security. As a sign of their commitment to
excellence in safety, the CUPD subjects itself to rigorous external review and
is accredited by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Accreditation Inc. The
campus police, all sworn law enforcement officers, promote campus safety
by presenting public safety programs in classes and residence halls on
and off campus. CUPD also registers bicycles and offers engraving tools
to engrave them without charge.
Unfortunately, there is always a possibility crime may occur. It is important
for everyone in the Clemson community to remain aware and take safety
precautions at all times.
Emergency telephones (tall, yellow call boxes) are strategically placed
in high-traffic areas on our campus (as indicated on the University parking
map) to contact CUPD or other agencies in case of emergency. Study the
location of these phones and become familiar with those areas in which you
travel. If you are threatened or see anything suspicious, use a phone to contact
campus police immediately. When you push the emergency button, you will be
connected to the campus police dispatcher.
As part of our community policing initiatives, police officers conduct
walking patrols of specific areas of the campus and interact with the campus
community. Look for these officers in your area and get to know them.

PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“We have been very impressed
with the response time of
the campus representatives.
While walking back from a
football game to our daughter’s
residence hall in Lightsey,
my wife noticed a few overhead
bulbs out along the walkway
and emailed the campus police.
A representative immediately
responded and action was
taken to replace the light —
very happy about that!”
