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

Defiance College reports electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort service. Students should learn how to request that service, report an incident, and receive emergency alerts before they need assistance.

The college's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its current reporting procedures, emergency policies, and federally reported campus crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of an individual's safety. Students should also locate the college's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support, which may differ from an ordinary facilities or security request.
