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

Canisius reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel and access to 24-hour emergency telephone or alarm devices. Students should learn how to contact campus public safety and receive emergency information as part of their arrival planning.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics, reporting policies, and emergency procedures. Those statistics cover specified categories, locations, and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every student's experience. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should review the university's current reporting and support procedures, including how to obtain assistance without assuming that every disclosure follows the same process.
