Sacred Heart Major Seminary is part of the Detroit Metropolitan area, an area that has a total population of approximately 951,270. The campus, built at Chicago Blvd and Linwood, is completely secured with a perimeter fence and controlled access to the grounds.

The only entrance to the grounds is through one gated area attended by a trained security officer 24 hours a day. Once access to the grounds has been obtained, admittance to the building complex can only be obtained through the main entrance, which is staffed by a trained security officer 24 hours a day.

All campus facilities are well maintained and inspected regularly with adequate lighting provided in all areas. All guests to the complex must be escorted by a resident or staff member. Exit doors of the complex are electronically alarmed, with any intrusion immediately alerted to the front security desk and taken care of accordingly.

All vehicles of staff, residence and students are tagged with a parking permit which allows access to a restricted parking area. All visitors are directed to the visitor parking area.

Student Responsibility
The cooperation, personal support and involvement of students in the campus safety program are essential to its success. Students must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and the security of their personal belongings by taking simple, common sense precautions.

• Do not leave exterior doors to the residential area propped open at any time.
• Rooms should be locked AT ALL TIMES.
• Park cars in assigned areas only.
• Lock cars and conceal valuables in cars.
• Report any unusual or suspicious activity, individual or incident to the Security Staff immediately.

Commuting Safely
Sacred Heart Seminary consists of resident students and commuter students. The safety and security of all students remains a priority. These commuting tips will assist in the safety of our commuter students.

• Before you leave for school or work, plan your safest route. Routes that are well lighted and well traveled are safest.
• The quickest route is not always the safest. Give yourself ample time to travel the safest route.
• Always have a backup plan. Plan a secondary route to travel in case there is a major accident or construction tie-up.
• Carpool if possible.
• Always keep your vehicle well maintained.
• Purchase a decent spare tire. Ultimately, make sure you know how to change the tire if you need to.
• If you are stranded, do not leave your car. You are safer waiting for help. Police do not recommend going for help unless you can see it. If you must go, stay on the road, where it is more populated.
• If someone stops to ask you if you need help, ask them to go and call the police for you. Do not go with them!
• If possible, carry a cell phone.
• Avoid road rage. Using verbal retaliation or a gesture could end in a deadly tragedy. Drive calmly.
