What the Niner Choice Program IS:
The Niner Choice Program is a safety education initiative designed to help students and their families make informed decisions about off-campus living options. The program is a partnership between Housing and Residence Life, the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, and UNC Charlotte Police and Public Safety. The program was created in 2013 and was relaunched in 2019 and have continued to add new partners to the program each year. Complexes joining the program must meet and adhere to specific safety standards and record-keeping, and not meet or exceed established crime thresholds.

What the Niner Choice Program IS NOT:
The Niner Choice Program is not a stamp of approval or endorsement from the University or CMPD. While our goal is to build and maintain authentic relationships with student-serving properties, please note all participating properties are individually owned and managed. OCSS (nor the University) do not have influence over their business practices.
