Here to support and protect our community.
The COA Public Safety Department is service-oriented, student-focused, and committed to a safe learning environment. Night Watch staff are available seven days a week for escorts, lockouts, and emergencies. A shuttle service runs 7:30–11:30 p.m. between campus and downtown Bar Harbor.
Instant emergency updates sent directly to you.
COA Alert (powered by e2Campus) sends texts and emails during campus emergencies, weather events, or closures. All community members are automatically enrolled and can manage preferences online.
Know what to do when the snow hits.
COA rarely closes due to weather, but when it does, notices are sent via COA Alert and email. In the event of a snowstorm:
- Park only in designated overnight lots (Garden Lot, North Lot, South End by Route 3)
- Avoid parking between 12:01 a.m. and 7 a.m. outside of those areas
- Expect towing if not in compliance
- Listen for updates via local TV/radio and email announcements.
