SEEUS Walking and Mobile Escort Service...

Fall and Winter Semester Only

What is SEEUS:

SEEUS (Student Eyes and Ears for University Safety) is designed to enhance your safety and peace of mind while you walk on campus after dark. The primary purposes of SEEUS are to provide escorts to persons walking alone to on campus destinations such as classrooms, buildings, residence halls and their parked cars. SEEUS also provides additional eyes and ears for the EMU Police Department by observing the campus environment during the escort service.

Escorts provided by SEEUS are primarily walking escorts, although some mobile escorts are available from North Campus Lots #1 and #2 to residence halls and on campus apartments. Mobile escorts are not intended as an optional form of transportation and DPS may deny the request when two or more individuals are going to the same destination. Escorts will be provided for on-campus origins and destinations only.

The SEEUS walking escort service is in operation daily for the fall and winter semesters, 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and Monday through Friday of the Spring/Summer semesters, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. SEEUS personnel are assigned to the primary pedestrian walkway areas and are available for escorts.

SEEUS mobile escorts are available Sunday through Thursday, 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., for escorts from North Campus Lots 1 and 2 to the residence halls.

For an escort, call 48-SEEUS during operation hours.

SEEUS personnel are carefully screened and selected students employed by the EMU Police Department. All SEEUS personnel undergo specialized training, however, they are not body guards and are not required to have defensive training.

SEEUS personnel are identified by their bright yellow jackets or T-shirts with the SEEUS logo on the back and ID badge. All SEEUS personnel are equipped with a two-way radio for quick dispatch and to report suspicious activity to the Police Department.
