Safety

Please consider the following safety information:

College is a time for new adventures and personal growth. While doing these things, safety must remain a consideration. Whether taking the step to lock your door, knowing who you’re spending time with or knowing how to access emergency services, your safety is essential to your well-being. Make sure to save important telephone numbers in your phone, including your roommate, close friends, emergency contacts, the local police department and Clemson University Police Department’s non-emergency telephone number (864-656-2222).

Cities and municipalities have codes or guidelines that are routinely enforced. You may find yourself in trouble with local municipalities if these codes are broken. Be sure to educate yourself on what is expected from renters, roommates, and even home owners.

Below are links to local municipalities. Contact the office for the city or municipality that you live in to find codes specific to you.

• City of Clemson
• City of Central
• City of Anderson
• City of Seneca
• City of Greenville
