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

Colby has campus security services, including trained personnel on patrol around the clock. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night escort or transportation services.

Students should familiarize themselves with the college's current emergency alerts, reporting procedures, and instructions for urgent assistance. Colby's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus crime disclosures and safety policies. Sexual misconduct reporting and support involve procedures distinct from a routine facilities or security request; students should identify the college's current confidential-support options and formal reporting channels. No single security measure or crime count can establish an individual's level of safety.
