Transportation, Safety & Title IX

Your safety as a member of the Chatham community is one of the University's primary concerns. We are proud of our safety record, but no campus is totally crime free. The Chatham community is encouraged to stay alert, to use common sense, and to not hesitate to ask for help if you need it. Community members can also call 412-365-1230 to speak with Chatham Public Safety.

Parking Regulations

All qualified Chatham University community members are eligible for parking permits and must complete an online parking permit application prior to purchasing. We encourage commuters to share rides with a permit holder to reduce campus traffic and facilitate smoother commutes. Please note new students who live in University Housing on the Shadyside Campus are not permitted to have a car on campus for their first year at Chatham.
