Abilene Christian University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Abilene Christian University?

Campus safety at ACU involves university public-safety procedures, emergency communications, and processes for reporting concerns. Students should learn how to contact campus responders and how emergency alerts are delivered when they enroll.

ACU publishes an annual security report under the federal Clery Act. That report is the appropriate place to check the institution's stated security policies and reported campus crime statistics for the specified reporting years and geographic categories. Those figures need context: they record qualifying reports, not every incident a student might experience or a complete measure of personal risk.

Students can also review the university's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining supportive measures. Someone comparing campuses may want to check the current report and student handbook for details about emergency notifications, building access, after-hours assistance, and confidential versus nonconfidential support before relying on a particular service.
