Northeastern University Library Answers: University Library FAQ

Northeastern University Police Department (NUPD) has created an Emergency Response Guide. This guidebook was designed to provide members of the university community a ready-to-use reference on how to respond in case of an emergency on or near the campus. Campus safety and emergency preparedness is a responsibility we all share. All community members play a critical role in keeping students, faculty, staff and our guests safe on campus. Here is how you can do your part:

Always carry your Husky Card or Access Badge. 

In an emergency, you may find yourself locked out of your building or area as some doors may auto-lock to keep out intruders Carrying your Husky Card and keys will ensure you can move about if necessary.

If you see something, say something.

Reporting crimes, suspicious behavior, and safety concerns to NUPD or local authorities helps keep us all safe. Program local emergency numbers into your cell phone and don’t hesitate to make a report.
