Eckerd College

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Eckerd College?

Eckerd College reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Those measures address particular aspects of campus security; they do not eliminate risk or replace students' access to emergency reporting and support.

Students should locate the college's current emergency contacts, alert procedures, and instructions for reporting a safety concern when they arrive. The annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and related policies. Such statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods, so they should not be read as a complete measure of every person's safety experience.

Students reporting sexual misconduct should be able to find the college's Title IX reporting process and information about supportive measures. Because emergency practices and office contacts can change, current campus safety and Title IX materials are more useful for an immediate decision than an older general description.
