CAMPUS SAFETY AND SECURITY ADVISORY: HEIGHTENED SECURITY MEASURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED STARTING AUGUST 25, 2026
In light of the recent reported security incidents across different schools in the country, Mapúa University is taking proactive, preventive steps to ensure our campuses remain safe, secure, and nurturing environments for everyone.
Beginning August 25, 2026, we will be implementing heightened safety and access control measures across all campus entry points. While these steps are purely precautionary, they will involve minor adjustments to our daily routines. We ask for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work together to protect our Mapúan community.
What students, employees, and visitors should expect at the gates and within the campus vicinities?
- Strict No ID, No Entry Policy: Please wear your valid University ID at all times inside campus premises and tap in/out at designated turnstiles. Lending, borrowing, altering, or misusing another person’s ID is strictly prohibited. Any person without proper identification may not be allowed to enter the campus or may be subjected to added verification before being allowed entry.
- Visual Identity Checks: Security personnel may request the temporary removal of face masks, helmets, hoods, or sunglasses at entry points for identity verification. Medical and religious articles will be accommodated respectfully.
- Thorough Inspection: Enhanced and appropriate inspection of bags, packages, and vehicles will be conducted at all gates and parking entrances, in accordance with University policy. Strictly “No Car Sticker, No Entry.”
- Increased Guard Presence & Monitoring: Expect more security personnel conducting rounds across hallways, buildings, and common areas, alongside continuous CCTV monitoring.
- Visitor Registration: All guests and suppliers/vendors must register at designated security posts and wear official visitor passes at all times.
Important Reminders:
- Students and employees must comply with all University safety and security procedures.
- Everyone is encouraged to plan ahead and arrive at the campuses earlier to account for brief queues during peak entry hours.
- Immediately report suspected threats and security concerns to the University’s Security Team.
- Remain vigilant without creating unnecessary alarm. Avoid spreading rumors, unverified reports, or other information that may compromise an ongoing security response.
- Participate in emergency drills or security orientations.
Security is a shared responsibility and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our Mapúan community a safe and conducive learning environment for all.
