Effective July 2026, SafeZone is the official safety app of the University of Central Arkansas. It is the only app that integrates with the University of Central Arkansas’s safety and security systems. The UCA Police Department has worked to identify a unique app that provides students, faculty, and staff with added safety on the University of Central Arkansas campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.
SafeZone and the UCAALERT System
Important Fact – UCA students, faculty, and staff must now download the SafeZone app to receive a push notification of an Alert on the UCA Campus.
UCA students, faculty, and staff who provide a phone number in the Mailing Address Telephone Number section in your Banner profile will automatically receive the UCAAlert message via text message. All students, faculty, and staff will continue to receive UCAAlert messages to their UCA email addresses.
