Safety
The safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors at Northern Virginia Community College is one of our top priorities. We want to create and maintain a safe, secure environment where learning can flourish. To do so, we've staffed each campus with police and public safety officials, developed emergency preparedness plans and created a system for notifying students of campus closures due to inclement weather or other safety issues.
Campus Police
Campus police patrol college buildings and grounds, 24 hours a day, in support of the public safety goal of the college.

For fire or life-threatening emergencies, call 911. Otherwise, call 703.764.5000.
