Student Services

Campus Safety Services (CSS)
Campus Safety Services (CSS) functions as a police department under the Ohio Revised Code (ORC 1713.50) as established by the University’s Board of Directors.  This designation gives officers the same legal authority as municipal police officers.

Campus Safety Services works to provide a safe and secure environment for all members of the John Carroll community.  It does so by maintaining police officer staffing 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.  CSS officers patrol the campus, answer calls for service, provide personal escorts upon request, respond to alarms, and conduct investigations of suspicious, criminal or otherwise inappropriate activity.  They also provide crime prevention/safety awareness programs in conjunction with other campus departments upon request.  These programs help prevent crime through risk avoidance and personal responsibility.

The CSS office is located in Room 14 on the lower level of the D.J. Lombardo Student Center.  The Gate House, located in the Belvoir parking lot, is staffed 24 hours a day.  CSS also can be reached by calling X 4600 from any campus phone or, from off-campus, 216-397-1234 or 216-397-4600.  Courtesy phones are located inside buildings throughout campus.  CSS also has an online presence, which can be accessed at www.jcu.edu/campuslife/css.

Parking
CSS is also responsible for parking/shuttle bus management at John Carroll.  Parking on campus is by permit only.  First and second-year resident students are permitted to have cars at John Carroll University but must park at an off-site parking location (Green Road Annex).  Upper-class and all commuter students are permitted to park on campus.  Transportation to and from the Green Road Annex parking lot is provided by shuttle bus.  Upon request, shuttle busses will also transport students to and from the Regional Transit Authority Rapid station and to the shopping district on Cedar Road at Warrensville Center Road.
Students with permits for the Green Road Annex parking lot may park at the main campus from Friday at 5 p.m. until Monday at 7 a.m.
