Campus Safety
Santa Barbara is a safe and peaceful community and the campus has proven to be extremely safe.
Santa Barbara City College has taken numerous steps to ensure student safety, including 24-hour security coverage; highly visible security officers; adequate lighting on campus and in parking lots; alarm systems; emergency phones located throughout campus; and direct communication with the Santa Barbara Police Department.
Security escorts are available to students day and night, and a night shuttle offers rides to students between East and West Campus.
The College has selected the Alert U Emergency Text Messaging System (EMS) platform to provide students and the campus community with cell phone based text messaging in the case of an emergency.
