Campus Safety

View Northeastern’s Annual Security Report for the Charlotte campus for a complete list of policies and resources related to personal safety, the securing of property, crime on and around campus, fire safety in residence halls, and campus emergency procedures. 

The Charlotte campus is generally open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we often have extended hours for in-person classes.

To ensure campus safety, elevators to the 11th floor of our building, 101 N. Tryon, are locked 24/7. Students, faculty, and staff must swipe their ID badges in the elevator to access the 11th floor. The badges are available from the operations manager, Chris Smith, at [email protected]. Badges remain active until students graduate.
