SafeWalk SEU is a student-led, student-run service to safely escort students, 教师 and 工作人员 to and from areas around 校园 (limited to the borders of 校园) during evening and night hours during the fall and spring semesters.

Top Three Things to Know About Safety
Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
的 Hilltop is a safe place to live, learn and work. 的 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is a great resource for our community to learn more about the programs and policies the university has implemented to keep it that way. 的 Office of 校园 Safety prepares this report in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of 校园 Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. Updated versions are published each October 1st and hard copies are also available on request at the 大学 警察 Department.

校园 Carry
St. 爱德华的 大学 chose to opt-out of Texas Senate Bill 11, commonly referred to as 校园 Carry, continuing its long-standing policy of prohibiting weapons on 校园 in accordance with the Student Handbook (Page 35) and Employee Handbook (Page 33) . 大学 leadership believes concealed handguns on 校园 present significant concerns and are not conducive to a positive learning environment. Opinions expressed during 校园-wide information sessions in December 2015 support the university’s position on this matter. Only active law enforcement personnel are excluded from this policy. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding weapons on 校园, please call the 大学 警察 Department at 512-448-8444.
