  • See Something, Say Something

    The UIC School of Law community is encouraged to report all suspicious and criminal activity promptly. Anyone who witnesses a crime or suspects a crime has been committed should report the matter to the Campus Safety & Security Department by dialing ext. 511 from any on-campus house phone.  Cell phone users dial (312) 427-2737 ext. 511 to receive immediate assistance. When dialing 911 from a cell phone, be aware you will be connected to the Chicago Police Department, and this will NOT notify campus staff for assistance.
