Annual Campus Lighting and Safety Survey 2026

Share Your Lighting and Safety Concerns

For more than 20 years, Facilities Management, Environment, Health & Safety, CARE at the Sexual Assault Resource Center and the UC San Diego Police Department have partnered with the campus to conduct annual Campus Lighting and Safety Surveys. These surveys aim to cover the entire campus footprint and assess safety and lighting issues that can be improved to create a safer environment for our community.

This year, the Lighting and Safety Surveys will occur every Wednesday night in February (Feb 4, 11, 18, and 25) beginning at 6 p.m., lasting about two hours each night. This schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions; check Outdoor Lighting Safety for the current schedule. Surveys will cover these campus areas:

  • February 4 – Main campus buildings, including School of Medicine  
  • February 11 – Scripps Institution of Oceanography
  • February 18 – Coast, Mesa, One Miramar St., La Jolla Del Sol, Mesa Nueva and Nuevo East and West 
  • February 25 – Residential housing on the main campus

Anyone on campus can participate! Past representatives included staff and students from Associated Students, Graduate & Professional Student Association, CARE at SARC, EH&S, UCPD, Residential, Retail & Supply Chain Services (RRSS), Transportation Services, Facilities Management, Residential Life, Campus Planning and The Library, among several others.

If you would like to participate, please sign up here. This Google document also includes information about meeting locations for each night, what to bring and details about the new webapp we’ll use to record data. If you notice any lighting or safety concerns on campus, you can share them anytime in one of four ways:

  1. Call the Facilities Management Customer Relations help desk at (858) 534-2930
  2. Submit an online work request to Facilities Management
  3. Report it Now Night Safety webapp that allows us to capture issues quickly and efficiently
  4. Email the information to campuslightingconcerns@ucsd.edu

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to working together to make the university a safer place for everyone.
