Dear Daniels students, 

The University of Toronto and the Daniels Faculty work to provide a safe and secure environment for all students and we encourage you to be especially conscious of your personal security. We stress the importance of closing doors that are locked to the public, never leaving personal belongings unattended, and of not walking alone in unlit areas. 

Daniels FOB Access

Access to the Daniels buildings on campus is by FOB key only after regular business hours.  Studio spaces are only FOB accessible. For security, please do not let anyone into the Daniels buildings/studio spaces who does not have their own FOB key. 

TravelSafer

TravelSafer is a free service offered 24/7 365 days a week.  You can request an escort to and from your campus locations to any location on campus/TTC station.  You can contact the service via the UofT Safety App on your cellphone.

Scams and Fraudulent Emails

We urge you to be careful and aware of fraudulent messages.

Ensure any emails are from a trusted source.   Be cautious about an email claiming to be from official sources that ask you to send money or personal information.  Be careful of offers of gifts that ask you to send money to claim the gift. 

If you receive an email that you are not sure about, check UofT’s “Phish Bowl”.  Additional fraud prevention, reporting and resources can be found here.
