What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at California State University-Chico?

Chico State has a University Police Department and campus emergency-response resources. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency phones or alarms, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transportation or escort option.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts and how to report an urgent incident, a nonemergency concern, or sexual misconduct. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, establish how safe any individual will feel or be in every setting.
