In advance of Spring Break next week, March 16–22, we would like to provide the following parking advisory and guidance. As many of us prepare to travel, the Department of Public Safety and Transportation aims to help ensure you enjoy a fun, safe and healthy break.

Parking Advisory

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ community members who plan to leave a vehicle on campus during Spring Break must move the vehicle to the Motamed or Nexus underground parking garages before departing campus; this allows the University to efficiently manage the lots in the event of inclement weather. Failure to move your vehicle may result in a ticket, fines and possible towing at the owner’s expense.

As a reminder, all vehicles parked on campus must have a current ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ parking decal.

Panther Express Shuttle Service Advisory

The University will be open during Spring Break, and while the Panther Express shuttle service will be available during this period, service will conclude by 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. Weekend service will run from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on March 21-22. Regular shuttle service will resume after Spring Break on Monday, March 23.

See the current Panther Express shuttle schedule, regularly updated by the Department of Public Safety and Transportation.

Important Safety Resources and Information

If you see something, say something: If you become aware of an issue, incident or troubling situation that causes you anxiety, stress or fear, you should promptly report it. If the situation appears imminent and/or includes the risk of violence to yourself or others, call 911, contact Public Safety by dialing “5” from any campus phone or call 516.877.3511.

Mass Notification System: To ensure you receive emergency and campus closure messages without delay, take a few moments to confirm your Emergency Notification Preferences to stay updated.

• Don’t miss an Adelphi Alert—save 516-234-5783 in your contacts so it won’t be marked as spam.

Resources for Your Preparedness:

• Request a Public Safety training for your department or group to learn important ways to be prepared for hostile intruder events, including run, hide, fight guidelines and Stop The Bleed life-saving techniques.

• Videos to watch:

  • : resources to help you stay safe on campus and in our community.

  • : learn what to do during a lockdown/shelter in place due to a hostile intruder.

  • : familiarize yourself with our three types of classroom door locks.

• Understand what to do during a campus lockdown/shelter-in-place situation.

• The University Center has automated external defibrillator (AED) devices for trained individuals to use.

Our Preparedness:

• Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT): Adelphi was one of the first institutions to establish a dedicated team for monitoring and addressing reported safety concerns. BIT (previously the Threat Assessment Team) is coordinated by Public Safety to help address or prevent serious safety issues that involve our community in support of Adelphi’s incident reporting and resolution procedures.

• Testing and Practice: At least once a year we test our Emergency Operations Plan and our Mass Notification System (Text/Call). Our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is published annually (in October) in accordance with the Clery Act. And, in support of our goal to always be prepared and ready, our department and Adelphi’s leaders practice the University’s emergency response on an ongoing basis with tabletop exercises.

• Local Police Support: We maintain close working relationships with the police departments of Garden City, Hempstead, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Poughkeepsie and New York City. All Adelphi campus locations are supported by these police services, including criminal investigation and emergency response.
