Safety and Security





  • CruzAlert is used for emergencies that involve an immediate threat to health or safety—like natural disasters or active threats. Alerts go out by text, phone, and email as soon as a situation is confirmed. All UCSC students, faculty, and staff are automatically enrolled.
  • SlugSafe provides non-emergency updates about campus safety, operations, or disruptions—like road closures, power outages, or weather advisories.
