Columbia College reports round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Electronically controlled residence-hall entrances are another reported measure on the residential campus.
Students should learn how to contact campus security, receive emergency alerts, and report a concern when they enroll. The college's annual security report is the appropriate place to check its published crime statistics and reporting policies; those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods rather than every incident a student might encounter. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also identify the college's current Title IX reporting and support contacts.
Safety services may differ between the Columbia campus, other instructional locations, and online study. A student attending a different site should use that site's emergency procedures rather than assuming the main campus patrol covers it.
