Security

The Office for Security and Safety (OSS) is primarily responsible for providing and maintaining a safe, peaceful, and secure educational milieu that is conducive to learning, employment and well-being of the Adamson University community without any undue disruption from internal and external sources. It first started as one of the services under the Office for Pastoral Affairs and later under the Office for Student Affairs. Finally, by virtue of Memorandum No. 31, S 2002, it was elevated to the status of an office under the auspices of the Vice President for Administration.
