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

Benedict College reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel and 24-hour emergency telephone or alarm devices. Those measures are parts of a campus safety system, not a guarantee against crime or other emergencies.

Students should review the college's current emergency instructions, learn how to report an incident, and keep the campus security contact information accessible. The annual security report required under the Clery Act is the appropriate source for reported campus crime statistics, reporting procedures, and certain safety policies; its geographic definitions and reporting periods matter when interpreting the numbers. Students can also consult the college's published sexual-misconduct reporting and support procedures to understand confidential resources, formal reports, and available accommodations.
