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

Holy Cross reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night transportation or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are campus safety resources, not a guarantee against crime or other emergencies.

Students should learn how to reach the college's public safety staff, sign up for emergency notifications, and report an incident. The college's published emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate places to check reporting channels, emergency instructions, and federally required campus crime statistics. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also review the college's Title IX reporting and support options; emergency response, confidential support, and formal reporting are not necessarily the same process.
