Safety Matters Safety Matters: Welcome Back UMass Dartmouth Students!

Your safety comes first.

To our students and families, please know that your safety is our highest priority. Our officers and entire staff remain vigilant and prepared to address any potential campus threats. We work in close coordination with university partners, and local law enforcement agencies including the Dartmouth Police Department and Massachusetts State Police to monitor activity, assess concerns, and respond quickly to keep our campus safe.

We encourage you to take care of yourselves and one another, stay aware of your surroundings, and to report suspicious behavior right away. We ask you to adhere to the residence hall's sign-in policy and to remember that you are accountable for your guest's behavior while they are on campus. Please know that there are many wellness and safety resources available to you on campus. If you ever have a concern or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, we are always here to help.

Wishing you a successful, healthy, and rewarding Spring 2026 semester!

Sincerely,

Chief John D. Souza
