Student Safety
The first and best steps for your safety is for you to keep alert, keep your eyes open, and be responsible for knowing your surroundings.
Tips
Do not leave your personal belongings alone - including your USB flash drives, books, backpack, open beverages, etc.
Don't flash signs of wealth, like money, expensive tools or gadgets, etc.
Secure your bike, car, moped, etc. in well-lit areas and know where to find it quickly. Have your keys ready!
Choose high traffic and well lit access and departure routes, and walk with one or more persons you know when heading for parking, bus zones, and other potential risk areas.
If you see something suspicious - behavior, drug activity, someone bullying, an abandoned package, etc., contact Campus security: 587-5442. Also consider 911 if the risk feels high.
School Report: click on the “college” tab at the left and then on Seattle Central Community College.
NEW! Seattle Central closure line. Call 206-587-5464 (587-KING). This is a new, dedicated line that has been set up for the college (including students). The KING line will make it easier for you to get through, as the 3800 line is not equipped to handle a high volume of calls. Please note: we will NOT use the x3800 line this year.
Radio and TV news: All major radio and television stations regularly announce closures or delays, which they pick up from the school report website.
