Charlotte Safety & Security

Starting college is an exciting time, but I also know it can come with concerns for both students and parents. One of the questions I hear most often is, “Is campus safe?” My answer is simple: We work every day to ensure our students have a safe, secure and supportive environment where they can learn, grow and enjoy their college experience.

Our campus is located just blocks from Uptown Charlotte, putting you close to incredible opportunities and experiences. We want our Wildcats to enjoy everything Charlotte has to offer while knowing they have a strong support system behind them. 

Our officers are approachable and genuinely care about our students. We aren’t just here when something goes wrong — we’re here to build relationships, provide support, and help every Wildcat feel at home.

Our safety-first approach starts with our campus buildings. That’s why every member of our community carries a JWU ID, and all campus buildings are secured through card-access systems.

Our Campus Safety & Security team is here 24 hours a day to help. Whether it’s providing assistance through our Safe Walk Program, responding to a call for service, or simply answering a question, our officers and dispatchers are always available. We also work closely with local police, fire and EMS partners to help ensure our campus remains prepared for whatever may arise.

We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and showing you what makes the JWU Charlotte community so special.

Go Wildcats!
