The DePaul University Public Safety Department provides a safety escort service for students, staff, and faculty from 6 p.m. - 6 a.m. on the Lincoln Park campus. Call (773) 325-7233 or ext. 57233 from a university house phone to request a safety escort. You will then be advised of the length of the wait, if any, for your escort.
