California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo?

Cal Poly has a university police department and campus procedures for reporting emergencies and receiving official emergency information. Students can also use university resources for concerns involving sexual misconduct, including reporting and support channels; the appropriate confidential or formal reporting option depends on the kind of help sought.

Prospective students can review Cal Poly's current Annual Security Report for its disclosed campus crime statistics, reporting procedures and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations, categories and reporting years, so they should not be read as a complete measure of every student's personal risk. On arrival, students should confirm current emergency contacts, notification enrollment and any evening transportation or escort arrangements rather than rely on an older description of a service.
