Cleveland Institute of Art reports around-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are specific security measures, not a guarantee against crime.
Students should learn how to contact campus security, receive emergency notices, report an incident, and seek help after hours. CIA's published annual security report is the appropriate place to review its stated procedures and federally reported campus crime statistics; those statistics have defined reporting periods and geographic boundaries and do not capture every safety concern a student might encounter.
Applicants should also locate the college's current sexual-misconduct reporting procedures and confidential support options. Anyone whose commute or studio work extends late into the evening should confirm current building-access and transportation arrangements rather than assume an escort service is available.
