Guidelines regarding the service:
- Safety Escort is available when SMU is in session and is generally not available during SMU breaks and major holidays.
- On busy nights, we might need to stop taking requests a half hour before we close.
- Sorry, we are a safety service only, not for convenience.
- During severe weather conditions the Safety Escort service may be suspended. Once conditions improve, Safety Escort will resume operations.
- We do try to respond as quickly as we can to people with urgent needs, but our fleet is limited to three golf carts.
Please note - Students and employees - To help enhance application and data security, Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be required to access this service.
