Drexel University

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

Drexel has a campus public-safety operation that provides policing and emergency-response resources in its Philadelphia campus areas. Students should learn the current emergency contact methods, alert-system enrollment procedure, and reporting options for the buildings they use.

Campus safety information is more useful when it is specific. Drexel publishes an annual security report under federal campus-reporting requirements; it describes policies and reports certain crimes for defined campus-related locations and reporting periods. Those figures do not capture every incident affecting a student in the surrounding city, nor do they establish that any location is categorically safe or unsafe.

Students can also seek university procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing supportive measures. Anyone attending classes, working a co-op, or living away from the main campus should distinguish Drexel's campus response resources from the emergency services and reporting systems at that separate location.
