Safety, Facilities, and Technology Resources

Safety

You can report crimes at CMU to the CMU Police Department, HERE. If it is an emergency situation, immediately call University Police at 412-268-2323 or dial 911 if you are off-campus.
The best thing to do is keep an eye on your things (don't leave them unattended in public) and to lock your bike correctly to a secure rack. Another safety measure is to register it with the CMU PD. The information will go into a national database so that if it is recovered, it can be returned to you. Get info and register your stuff HERE.
Always feel free to contact the CMU PD for help. Normally, when one of these agencies need to get ahold of student, they work through CMU and thus you would be contacted by someone from Student Affairs or the CMU Police Department. However, the CMU Police can help put you in contact with the correct people to verify the instruction in the email/call and provide assistance. Call them at (412)268-2323 or email HERE.
Through the CMU Police Department, there are two programs offered. The first is the two-hour safety awareness class "S.A.F.E." which provides safety tips and an introduction into physical self defense. The second option is the longer Rape Agression Defense (or "R.A.D.") training which is a 12-hour course with safety tips and a significant hands-on practical component to learn physical means of self defense. For more information on when courses will be offered, email HERE.
You will find that each lab has it's own areas of concern depending on the type of experiments being run, but the campus wide standards can be found on the EH&S website (HERE). Also, you can sign up for training courses regarding lab and workplace safety that may be required to access certain facilities on campus.
Such events can be reported to the CMU Police (website HERE) or to the Title IX Office (website HERE) depending on your preference for handling the event later. No further legal action will be taken against a purpetrator of an event unless you choose to.
A student can report issues to the Ethics Hotline online HERE or calling 877-700-7050 and can do so anonymously. There is also a list of additional offices that the students can report to HERE under Matters to Report and Campus Reporting Contacts and where they can receive more targeted support.

ID Cards

Report your ID as stolen/lost in SIO (HERE) so it is temporarily deactivated so that no unauthorized access to facilities/funds occurs. The go to the HUB office in the basement of Warner Hall to aplly for a replacement. They will issue a new card number so fraudulent use of the lost/stolen card is prevented. If your card was stolen, it can be replaced for free with a police report or a CMU incident report. Otherwise, it will be treated as lost and there is a $25 replacement fee.
Up to one month before the expiration date, you should go to The Hub office in the basement of Warner Hall to get a new photo taken and an ID card made.
