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

Catawba College reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transport service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to reach campus security and receive emergency notices when they arrive.

For a fuller picture of procedures and reported incidents, prospective students can review the college's current annual security report. That report is the appropriate place to check Clery Act crime statistics, reporting categories, and the years covered; a single statistic would not describe every aspect of personal safety. Students should also identify the college's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or other support, since reporting options can differ in how information is handled.
