Barnard College

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Barnard College?

Barnard maintains campus public-safety and emergency-response procedures in its New York City setting. Students should learn how to contact Public Safety, receive emergency notifications and report a concern involving campus buildings or nearby streets. Residence-hall access rules and after-hours procedures are particularly relevant to students living on campus.

Barnard also publishes an annual security report under the federal Clery Act. Its reported incidents cover defined locations and reporting periods, so the figures should not be interpreted as a complete measure of every risk a student might encounter in the surrounding city. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct can review Barnard's reporting, support and Title IX resources, including the distinction between confidential support and a formal report.
