Bicycle registration

The UNC Police Department provides bicycle registration stickers for students, staff, and faculty through the Parking and Transit Office. This program was implemented to help deter bicycle theft and assist with location and identification of lost or stolen bicycles. A bicycle registration can be purchased at the Parking services Office in Gray Hall. Bicycle registrations are $20 and includes a free "U-Lock".

To register a bicycle, you will need to have your bicycle's make, model, color, and serial number with you.

911 Emergency Services

To report an emergency, dial 911 from any campus phone to reach the UNC Police Department. Please note, if you dial 911 on your cellphone, you will be connected to the Weld County Communications Center, and they will be able to assist you and connect you to the UNC Police Department.

The UNC campus has numerous, well-marked exterior emergency phone poles located along main sidewalks throughout campus. These poles can be identified by the word "Emergency" in white lettering on the side, as well as the blue light on the top of the pole, which are lit after dark. The "call" button located on the pole will connect you immediately to the UNC Police Department Communications Center.

All elevators on campus are also equipped with emergency buttons that, when pressed, automatically connects to the UNC Police Communications Center. Occupants inside the elevator are able to communicate via speakerphone to a Police Dispatcher to summon assistance.
