RAVE Guardian App

Use Rave Guardian to connect to Campus Safety and access important campus resources like Wellness Services, LU Safewalkers, Bias Incidents, and COVID-19 concerns, facility work requests, and so much more. You can set up a network or “guardians” by inviting friends and family to virtually walk with you on or off campus with a safety time. Your location is only shared with your chosen guardians and only when the safety timer is active.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I stop during my trip or forget to turn off my safety timer?
When using the safety timer, the user will receive a reminder text message 5 minutes before expiring. If it expires, a message immediately goes to your chosen guardian(s) and they can call your cell phone. Campus safety is not automatically alerted—they must be contacted by your guardian.  

How do I ask people to be Guardians? How do I set up my Safety Timer feature?
You request contacts as Guardians. The Guardian will receive a text with a link to see your location while the safety timer is active. Members of the campus community who have downloaded the app will have access to the campus safety call feature in the app. If you ask a family member or friend who is not part of the campus community, you should provide them with the campus safety number. 

Is Lawrence or RAVE Guardian tracking me?
No. You have control over your privacy settings. The location information is enabled when you choose to make an emergency call or when your safety timer expires. Your Guardians will be able to track you when your safety timer is active. Your location is not monitored by Lawrence University and is only accessible to your chosen guardian network when your safety timer is active.
