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

DeSales reports around-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically operated residence-hall entrances. These are available safety resources, not assurances that an incident cannot occur.

Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency alerts, request an escort, and report misconduct. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to check formally reported campus crime figures and safety policies; those figures have defined locations and reporting periods and should not be read as a complete measure of personal safety. Students seeking support after sexual misconduct should also review the university's current reporting and confidential-support options.
