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

Denison reports round-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night transportation or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are resources and procedures, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to reach campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident. The university's published emergency procedures and annual security report provide the appropriate starting points for current contacts, reporting channels, and federally required crime disclosures. Sexual misconduct reporting and support should be reviewed separately from routine security assistance so students know what confidential and formal options are available.
