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

California Lutheran provides campus safety services that include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Those measures are resources, not a guarantee against incidents.

Students should learn how to contact Campus Safety, enroll in university emergency notifications and report an urgent concern. For a fuller picture of reported incidents and response procedures, the university's annual security report is more useful than an uncontextualized crime total; its figures cover defined locations, offenses and reporting periods. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also identify the university's Title IX reporting and support channels, which have a distinct role from emergency response.
