community of an emergency. In addition to sirens, the university sends CU Safe Alerts via text
message, email, RSS and Twitter feeds. The university also updates the alerts webpage
( alerts.clemson. edu )during emergencies. Lastly, the university uses the Integrated
Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) to send emergency text
messages to all phones within a specific geographical location.
The campus community has several options to use to alert officials
of emergency situations. 911 is the best number to call for all
emergencies. For non-emergency issues, calling 864-656-2222 will
connect you to the campus dispatcher. Large, yellow emergency call
boxes are located across campus (see parking map for exact locations).
Students are encouraged to become familiar with the location of
these boxes, as pushing the button will connect you to campus
dispatch.
Rave Guardian
Rave Guardian is a free, smartphone-based security application and optional personal safety
mobile app that allows users to call 911, call CUPD, set up a safety timer, notify specific people
about their status and location and submit anonymous text messages to CUPD about security
threats or problems. For more information, visit
clemson.edu/cusafety/cupd/rave-guardian .Understanding Title IX
The federal government requires colleges and universities to have better support, education and
prevention of interpersonal violence including sexual violence, stalking and relationship violence.
As a result, many institutions, including Clemson University, offer training for faculty, staff and
students related to understanding Title IX, as well as options and resources available.
Through Title IX, students who have been impacted by sexual assault, relationship abuse or stalking
can receive information, support and resources. There is a web-based course that all students
receive and are strongly encouraged to take in addition to other educational programming offered
throughout the year.
