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

Central College students should use the college's published emergency procedures and reporting channels to understand campus safety. Electronically operated entrances are reported for residence halls, but a controlled entrance is only one part of a safety system.

Before arriving, students can identify where to report an emergency, how to receive campus alerts and how to seek help for sexual misconduct or other concerns. The college's annual security report is the appropriate source for its formal safety policies and federally reported crime statistics. Those statistics have defined locations and reporting periods; they should not be treated as a complete measure of an individual's risk.
