What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Christopher Newport University?

Christopher Newport has campus public-safety personnel who patrol around the clock, as well as controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation option. Students should learn how to request those services rather than assume that access procedures are identical for every building or hour.

The university's safety and emergency resources are the appropriate places to find current alert sign-up instructions, emergency contacts, reporting procedures and guidance for responding to an incident. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should distinguish confidential support resources from offices responsible for formal reports and investigations.

For a comparable account of reported campus incidents, prospective students can consult the university's annual security report. Its statistics cover defined offenses, locations and reporting periods; they do not measure every experience of safety or predict an individual student's risk.
