College of Charleston

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

College of Charleston has campus public-safety personnel, emergency communications and procedures for reporting concerns. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency alerts and where to report an immediate threat, theft or other incident. Sexual misconduct concerns have separate reporting and support channels, including the college's Title IX procedures. The annual security report is the appropriate place to examine the college's published Clery Act crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations, categories and reporting periods; by themselves, they cannot describe every student's personal risk.
