Users of the UCF mobile app will notice enhancements that support campus safety.
A new section, UCF Tips, allows users to alert appropriate offices at UCF to crime tips, instances of misconduct, housing and parking issues and more, all through the mobile app. In some cases, users will be able to share photos and videos of a situation or issue, and then hear directly from the department addressing the concern.
A new “Safe Walk” feature allows users to share their location, destination, and estimated arrival time with selected friends who can track the user’s trip on a real time map. Friends will receive updates about the trip and, in the event of the unexpected, can ping police for assistance and relay critical location and timing information from the app.
In addition, the app’s Safety module has been updated to include safety tips and more information about crime prevention, with specific, relevant content for each of the campuses included in the app.
