Arcadia University

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

Arcadia reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transport service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures describe available resources, not a guarantee that an incident cannot occur.

Students should learn how to reach Public Safety, receive campus emergency notifications, and request an escort before they need those services. Reporting options for harassment or sexual misconduct should be reviewed separately from emergency reporting; a student may also need confidential health or counseling support. Arcadia provides personal counseling and a health clinic, although service hours and eligibility can vary.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine officially reported campus crime statistics, reporting procedures, and safety policies. Such statistics cover defined locations and reporting years and do not capture every experience of personal safety. Applicants comparing institutions should use the same reporting periods and definitions rather than treating a single number as a comprehensive safety rating.
