Carthage College

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Carthage College?

Carthage reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort service and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to request help and receive emergency alerts when they arrive.

Campus safety also includes procedures for reporting misconduct and obtaining support. The college's current public safety information and annual security report are the appropriate places to check emergency contacts, reporting routes, and the federally defined crime statistics for specific reporting years. Those statistics cover reported incidents under particular rules; they are not a complete measure of a person's risk. Students seeking confidential support or wishing to report sexual misconduct should distinguish between confidential resources and offices responsible for formal reports.
