In the event of an accident, illness, or mental health crisis with a student, faculty, staff, or visitor on campus that results in an emergency, please use the following procedures as a guideline. These guidelines have been recently updated by the Department of Public Safety and may represent a change in practice for some departments.
FIRST: CALL 911. Dial 911 directly if you believe medical assistance is required. Provide the building name and floor to the emergency response dispatch. The exact street address is not needed for campus buildings.
THEN: ALERT DPS. After calling 911 (or at the same time if there is a second person available to assist), alert DPS by calling 612-330-1717 or using the Campus Shield app. DPS staff will coordinate with emergency response personnel, facilitate access to campus buildings, and provide triage support as needed before emergency services arrive.

Dear Augsburg Community,
As we begin a new academic year, the Department of Public Safety is making some changes to our protocols. We are integrating updated technology, and managing the increased demands that naturally accompany the start of the fall semester. We are transitioning from fobs to ID Cards for freshman students and new staff. These changes strengthen our ability to serve the campus community. With transitioning from fobs to ID Cards, all individuals will be expected to show proof they are current students or staff at Augsburg University. After confirming that the student or staff are currently affiliated with the university, they will verbally request the keys they require.
A couple of the changes that will impact students and staff that request keys are as follows:
—Students and staff will be expected to leave a current (non expired) government issued picture ID when checking out keys.
—If the keys are not returned within a 24-hour window, the student or staff members’ Augsburg I.D. access card will be deactivated and only reactivated upon returning the keys to the Department of Public Safety Dispatch in the Urness/Mortensen Lobby.
—If you foresee needing a set of keys for longer than the 24-hour window, an official key request must be made in advance through the proper channels to ensure we have an adequate number of key sets available for all students, faculty, and staff.
If you have questions or concerns please reach out the the Department of Public Safety.

Due to the extremely high influx of requests for parking, ID badges, and general staffing issues. We have suspended parking enforcement until 9/6 at midnight in order for our department to catch up with the requests. We apologize for the inconvenience as our work to rollout the new badge IDs has taken priority.
Please note – parking enforcement being suspended is only for people who have not gotten permits yet due to the lack of response. Enforcement is still applicable for underground structures and over parking, parking in fire lanes, non-designated parking spaces, and ADA spaces(including striped zones). If your vehicle is found in those locations it is subject to ticket and immediate tow.

Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 15, MnDOT will be closing all I-94 entrance and exit ramps between I-35W and Hwy 280, as well as the ramp from eastbound I-94 to Hwy 55.
At 10 p.m., both directions of I-94 will be fully closed in the same area. The closures are necessary to allow crews to restore pavement markings and return traffic to its permanent condition following nearly five months of bridge maintenance work along I-94 in Minneapolis.
To bypass these closures, please follow the posted detour of I-35W to Hwy 36, I-35E to I-94.
By 5 a.m. on Monday, August 18, all lanes and ramps along I-94 will reopen for the Minnesota State Fair through Labor Day, except for one. The ramp from Huron Blvd. to eastbound I-94 will reopen on Wednesday, August 20.
Work will resume after Labor Day to complete the removal of the crossovers and other items such as upgrading the signage and lighting. Most of the work is anticipated to be completed by the end of September 2025. Travelers can expect periodic lane closures in spring 2026 when crews apply a deck sealant to the restored bridges.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather and schedule permitting and subject to change.

Parking permit sales will begin for all eligible Students, Staff and Faculty on Monday, August 11. Similar to previous years, all eligible users will be able to purchase a surface lot permit starting on Monday, August 11; with the exception of the underground garages.
If you are interested in purchasing an underground parking space, you will need to email parking@augsburg.edu on the following dates depending on your status:
Monday August 11 – Senior Students/Graduates (resident and commuter)
Tuesday August 12 – Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Wednesday August 13 – Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Thursday August 14 – First Year commuter students, and all Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students
Friday August 15 – Open to all eligible users (including Staff and Faculty)
Underground garage spaces will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, and **spaces will not be held if you email parking ahead of the scheduled sales date for your group** (example, if a Staff member emails parking@augsburg.edu on August 11 and before about wanting an underground space, that Staff member will be placed on a wait list and will only be considered for a space after all other users who emailed on the correct date are placed).
When purchasing a parking permit, please consider the following to avoid any tickets being issued throughout the semester/year:
Enter all known license plates that may be brought to campus under your 2025/26 parking permit
Double check that each license plate is entered correctly – if you notice a mistake after entering the license plates and are unable to change it yourself, email parking@augsburg.edu as soon as possible to get the correct license plate number entered. It is individual responsibility to make sure vehicle information is inputted correctly.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requesting Letter of Residency, please contact parking@augsburg.edu

Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, June 13, all I-94 entrance and exit ramps between I-35W and Huron Blvd will be closed. An hour later at 10 p.m., both directions of I-94 will be fully closed in the same area. Crews are doing a traffic shift from the eastbound lanes to the westbound lanes this weekend, so they’ll be able to continue their bridge repair work along eastbound I-94.
