The safety and security of all students are primary concerns of the University of Haifa. The University has security guards at the entrances to the campus as well as at the entrance to each building. Also, there is a security guard at the entrance to the dorms 24 hours a day. During Student Orientation at the beginning of the semester, students are provided with instructions on how to stay safe while in Israel. In addition, all international students are required to rent an Israeli cell phone through a recognized provider so that the International School staff is able to reach them at all times, both with practical information and in case of an emergency.
In case of emergency, the University of Haifa has a crisis management and evacuation plan, which the Risk Management Committee at the University of Maryland has reviewed and approved for our students.
