If you ever feel unsafe on campus please contact Safety, Security & Emergency Management at 604-451-6856 or find your way to the closest Code Blue Station, located throughout all BCIT campuses.

BCIT provides a safer walk program to walk employees, students and visitors to their destination on campus.

Availability

A safer walk is available 24/7 at:

• Burnaby
• CARI
• Downtown, and
• Aerospace campuses.

A safer walk is available at the Marine Campus from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

How to request

Call to request a safer walk or use a code blue station telephone or BCIT service telephone.

Security patrols

All parking lots are patrolled by contract security. The Burnaby Campus also has Student Bicycle Patrol. To provide a better service, these patrols are conducted on bicycle, by vehicle and on foot. BCIT works closely with local police authorities and ICBC to enhance parking patrols and crime prevention initiatives.

Code blue stations

BCIT has implemented an ongoing program of providing emergency communications at campuses in order to provide employees, students and visitors the ability to summon assistance.

The emergency communications include emergency telephones in parking lots, walkways, elevators, and in-house telephones. These phones are operational 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Emergency telephones can be used to:

• Request a safer walk
• Request first-aid
• Request assistance (i.e. for car problems, you are lost, etc.)
• Report suspicious activity
• Report emergencies

Any motor vehicle parked, operated, or driven on a BCIT campus shall be solely at the risk of the owner and the operator. BCIT shall not be liable for any damage occurring to any such motor vehicle, vehicle contents, operator, or any other person.

To help prevent theft from vehicles, please ensure that valuables are not left in vehicles or are locked in the trunk. The best way to protect valuables from car-theft is ultimately to leave them at home.

Students attending post-secondary institutions away from their hometown are encouraged by ICBC to re-evaluate their auto insurance coverage in order to identify if updated coverage is needed, and adjust accordingly.
