Safety and Security

The campus of Luther Seminary is generally a safe place to live, work and visit. However, the campus is in the center of a major metropolitan area and is vulnerable to vandalism and crime. The seminary requests that all employees and students be aware of the risks and take appropriate precautions. This would include:

  • securing valuables in locked desks or lockers

  • keeping windows secured

  • not propping outside doors open when you can’t make sure an unwanted person won’t come in

  • being alert to strange or suspicious people

  • taking precautions to protect vehicles

  • locking your car

  • if possible, not walking alone on campus, especially after dark.

A student security force is available to escort people to their cars, bus, or on campus living quarters in the evenings. Call the switchboard to prearrange.

Student Security Cell Phone: 651-324-9911

Student Security carries a cell phone during evening hours, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. If you have a security concern or need an escort to your car, apartment or dorm room you may call student security directly at 651-641-3213. You may still call the Information Desk to reach security, but only during the hours that the Campus Center is open.

Emergency procedures

Non-violence policy

Luther Seminary does not tolerate violence or threats of violence. Students or staff should report all suspicious or violent activity to Campus Services at x213.

The seminary also does not allow anyone to bring firearms onto campus or to possess weapons anywhere on campus. Any incidents of violence or threats of violence will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. The seminary reserves the right to search any person, vehicle, or belongings brought onto seminary property. Although it is the seminary’s intention to bar guns from its property to the full extent permitted by law, guns are permitted in seminary parking facilities to the extent that the law does not permit their prohibition.

Security personnel

Security personnel are officially on duty from 5:00 to 11:30 p.m. daily. Their main responsibility is to check doors and windows. Each carries a pager. All campus security guards have IDs.

Luther Seminary also has a commercial security company that patrols the parking lots periodically during nighttime hours.

First-aid kits

There are first-aid kits for minor injuries in the lower level of Stub, the lower level of Gullixson, the Bockman laundry room, the first floor of Northwestern and at the Information Desk. Call x213 for more specific information.

Precautionary measures

Students are advised to lock their rooms or apartments when absent and to report lost keys to the Housing Office. It is recommended that personal property insurance be obtained. In case of a threat to life or a crime in progress, call 9-911 first and then call Campus Services at x213. After hours please notify your Head Resident and they will relay information to administration. If there is a power outage, call the Campus Services office at x213.

If you have been loaned seminary property such as a building access card or keys, a laptop computer, cellular phone, etc., be sure to take appropriate precautions to protect these items from damage and theft while on or off seminary premises. The seminary will not be held responsible for lost or stolen personal belongings.
