Elon University

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

Elon maintains campus public-safety resources, including around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronic residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort services. Students should learn the current emergency contacts and how to receive university alerts when they arrive.

Reports of immediate danger should go to emergency services; other incidents can be reported through the university's public-safety procedures. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should distinguish confidential support resources from formal reporting options, because privacy protections and reporting obligations differ by office.

Elon's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine its published campus-crime statistics, reporting categories, and emergency procedures. Such figures cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, establish how safe any particular person will feel or be.
