What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Carnegie Mellon University?
Carnegie Mellon has campus police and public safety resources, including around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night transportation or escort option. Reported residence-hall protections include electronically controlled entrances.
Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications, report an urgent incident, and access the current escort or transportation service; hours, boundaries, and procedures can change. The university also provides reporting and support channels for sexual misconduct and other safety concerns. Its annual security report is the appropriate place to examine federally reported campus crime statistics, with attention to the years and locations covered. Such statistics do not capture every experience or, by themselves, establish whether an individual will feel safe.
