Off-Campus Residences

Off-campus residences are privately owned and are not affiliated with or owned by Chapman University. Please note that the university does not have jurisdiction over the residents of these properties.

If there are disturbances at these houses, please call Orange PD. Since these houses are not owned or operated by Chapman, our Public Safety team cannot respond to complaints unless requested by Orange PD. Chapman Public Safety does not have law enforcement jurisdiction, so these calls need to be directed to Orange PD. 

Chapman receives a weekly report from Orange PD with calls involving Chapman students, and the addresses on this report are referred to student conduct.

Please call the Orange Police Department dispatch at (714) 744-7444 for non-emergency issues where an immediate response is needed, such as a loud and unruly party.
