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

Clarkson reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures are parts of its campus safety system, not a guarantee against crime or other emergencies.

Students should learn how to reach campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report a concern. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; any such figures need to be read with their reporting years and geographic categories in mind. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct can also review the university's reporting and support procedures, including the distinction between confidential support and a formal report.
