What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Duke University?
Duke maintains a campus police and public safety operation, emergency communications, and procedures for reporting urgent incidents. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency phones or alarms, electronic residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort options.
Students can review Duke's emergency guidance for alert enrollment and response instructions, and its annual security report for federally defined crime disclosures and campus policies. Those disclosures cover specified locations and reporting periods; they should not be read as a complete prediction of an individual's risk. Duke also provides channels for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking confidential or other support, with different privacy and response rules depending on the office contacted.
