Call the St Thomas Public Safety and Parking Services at 651-962-5100 for assistance.

Vehicle Lockout Service

Our Public Safety officers are happy to assist you if you lock your keys in your car. We require proof of ownership and proper identification and will ask you to sign a waiver releasing the university from liability.

If you have three or more outstanding St. Thomas tickets or citations, these must be paid before the service will be attempted.

Battery Jump Start Service

If your car isn't starting and you need a jump-start, we can help. This free service is available on a "first-come, first-served" basis as time or weather permits. We require proof of ownership and proper identification and will ask you to sign a waiver releasing the university from liability.

If you have three or more outstanding St. Thomas tickets or citations, these must be paid before the service will be attempted.

If the St. Thomas Public Safety officers are unable to assist you or if their attempts fail, a local service station will be called for you; you will need to pay that service station for the cost of any service they provide.

Campus Escort

Available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, a Public Safety officer can escort you to and from locations on campus and nearby (within 6 blocks of the St. Paul campus or 3 blocks of the Minneapolis campus).

To request a campus safety escort call 651-962-5100.
