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

Auburn has campus safety personnel, emergency-alert procedures and ways to request help at any hour. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances and late-night transportation or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to enroll in university emergency notifications, where to find current late-night service hours and how to report an urgent concern. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures; students seeking confidential help should distinguish confidential support resources from offices required to act on a report.

Auburn publishes an annual security report with federally required Clery Act information and campus crime statistics. Those statistics have defined reporting locations and periods and cannot, on their own, describe every student's personal risk or experience.
