Eastern Kentucky University

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

EKU reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort option, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn which services operate at their location and how to request them before they need assistance.

Campus police or public safety information, emergency alerts, and the university's published emergency procedures are the appropriate starting points for urgent contacts and reporting instructions. EKU also publishes an annual security report under federal campus-crime disclosure rules. Its reported incidents reflect specific locations, categories, and reporting periods; they should not be read as a complete measure of any individual's risk.

For sexual misconduct or interpersonal harm, students should look for EKU's current reporting routes and confidential support options, since a request for confidential assistance and a formal report can have different consequences. In an immediate emergency, call 911.
