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

EWU has a campus police department and published procedures for reporting emergencies and other safety concerns. Its emergency-notification system is intended to communicate time-sensitive campus information; students should make sure their contact details are current and understand how alerts are delivered.

The university's annual security and fire safety reporting provides a more specific account of reported incidents, policies, and available resources. Such reports cover defined categories and locations, so their statistics are not a complete measure of anyone's personal risk. Students can also consult EWU's Title IX reporting and support procedures for sexual misconduct concerns. For an immediate emergency, calling 911 remains the appropriate first step.
