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

DePaul has a Public Safety operation and procedures for reporting incidents and communicating emergencies across its Chicago campuses. Students should learn how to contact Public Safety for their campus, sign up for or verify emergency notifications, and review the university's instructions for urgent situations.

The university publishes an annual security report under the federal Clery Act. That report is the appropriate source for campus crime statistics, reporting locations and safety policies; its figures describe reported incidents within defined categories and geographic boundaries, not every event a student might encounter in Chicago. DePaul also maintains channels for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support. Students should consult the current reporting and support information because procedures and contacts can change.
