What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Colorado State University-Fort Collins?

Campus safety at CSU includes trained personnel on patrol, emergency communication systems, and ways to request help or report an incident. The university also reports emergency phones or alarms, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to receive CSU emergency alerts and distinguish an immediate emergency from a nonemergency report to campus police or another university office. Reports of sexual misconduct can involve both safety response and supportive measures; CSU's Title IX resources explain reporting options, available support, and university procedures.

CSU publishes an annual security report under the federal Clery Act. Its statistics cover specified offenses, locations, and reporting periods, rather than every incident affecting a student in Fort Collins. Reviewing that report alongside residence-hall procedures and transportation options gives a more useful picture of available precautions than an unsupported claim that any campus is simply "safe" or "unsafe."
