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

Alvernia reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are resources students can use, not a guarantee against crime or emergencies.

Students should learn how to request an escort, receive emergency notifications, and report an urgent concern at the campus where they attend classes. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine reported campus crime statistics and safety policies; its figures cover specified locations and reporting periods rather than every incident a student might encounter. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should review the university's reporting, confidential-support, and Title IX procedures, which serve different purposes.
