Bowdoin College

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

Bowdoin maintains a campus safety operation with trained personnel on patrol around the clock. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to report an urgent incident, receive campus emergency notifications, and request an escort under the current campus procedures. The college also publishes an annual security report with federally prescribed crime and safety disclosures. Such figures cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, by themselves, predict an individual's experience. For sexual misconduct concerns, students can use the college's designated reporting and support channels, including its Title IX process, and review the options for confidential assistance before deciding what to disclose.
