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

CMU has campus police and emergency-response resources for its Mount Pleasant campus. Reported measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an urgent incident and access assistance for sexual misconduct or other safety concerns. CMU's published annual security report is the source for its federally required campus-crime disclosures and related policies. Crime figures in such a report cover defined locations and reporting years; they do not measure every incident affecting a student or establish that a campus is uniformly safe or unsafe.

Safety arrangements may differ for online learners, off-campus placements and university activities away from Mount Pleasant. For those settings, students should review the procedures supplied by the relevant program or site.
