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

ECU has campus policing and emergency-response resources, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported security provisions also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transportation or escort option.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an urgent incident, and obtain help after hours. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of any individual's personal risk. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct can also use the university's reporting and support channels.
