Safety
Everyone - student, staff and faculty - is ultimately responsible for his/her own safety.

- Safe Campus - The SafeCampus website provides information on counseling and safety resources, University policies, and violence reporting requirements that help the UW maintain a safe personal, work, and learning environment.

- UW's accident report form - If you have an accident or are injured, please remember to report it.
- Night ride - If you live to the west, north or east, within a mile of campus and you stay on campus after dark, take NightRide home. The NightRide shuttle takes you from campus right to your front door, U-PASS holders ride for free.

Security
Security should be a concern to all faculty, students and staff at the School. Access to the building after hours is available by having your Husky card swiped. All doors and windows must be closed when you leave a room, even if you know someone is coming in right after you.
If you see someone who doesn't belong - call 911 immediately and report it to the main office ASAP.
Student health insurance
Starting in fall 2014, the UW no longer offers the Student Health Insurance Plan. Medicaid and Healthcare Exchanges has information on buying insurance.
Student counseling center
The Counseling Center exists to support UW students in all aspects of their development. They provide personal counseling, career counseling, study skills assistance, and other services to currently-enrolled UW students. The Counseling Center also provides consultation to faculty, staff, and parents who have concerns about a student.
