Directly connect with Public Safety with the RAVE GUARDIAN APP

With direct connections to Campus Police, as well as to your Assumption friends and other trusted members of the Assumption community, you can feel more secure knowing your “Guardians” are a valuable resource to employ when needed. To download the Rave Guardian App, search “Rave Guardian” in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Students who download and install the App can invite Campus Police, Assumption friends, roommates, and others who have a valid Assumption University email address to be their “Guardians” when setting their Rave Guardian Safety Timer. For example, before traveling from one area of the campus to another, you can activate the App on your Smartphone, then set the timer for a certain number of minutes, then designate a guardian such as Campus Police. If you do not deactivate the timer, Campus Police will be alerted, who can proactively identify and check on you through the RAVE GPS system.
Assumption University welcomes guests and offers reserved parking for visitors on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please stop at the Front Gate to ask directions to an appropriate parking area.

Guest Passes

Residential students may invite guests to campus, but it is important for the sponsoring student to register them with the Department of Public Safety (DPS). All overnight guests who bring a vehicle on campus must register their vehicle at the DPS office and park on the Upper Level of the Chapel Road Deck. Guest registration forms can be filled out in DPS by the sponsoring Assumption student before the guest arrives.
