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

Butler provides campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation option. Reported residence-hall entrances use electronic access controls.

Students should learn how to reach Butler's public-safety department, receive emergency notifications, and report a concern. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures and descriptions of safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, predict any student's personal safety. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also review the university's current reporting and confidential-support options, which serve different purposes.
