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

Colorado Mesa University reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort service.

Students should learn how CMU issues emergency notifications, where to report an urgent incident, and how to request an escort when the service is operating. For concerns involving sexual misconduct, the university's Title IX reporting and support procedures are distinct from making an emergency call or a police report.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published crime statistics, reporting procedures, and emergency policies. Such statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, establish whether any individual will feel safe on or near campus.
