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

FAU has campus police and emergency-response procedures, along with reported around-the-clock patrols and emergency phone or alarm devices. Residence halls use controlled electronic entry, and late-night escort or transportation support is reported as available.

Students should learn how to receive FAU emergency alerts, report an incident, and request assistance at the campus where they study. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures, and confidential support options may differ from formal reporting channels. FAU's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures; any crime counts should be read with their reporting period and geography, not treated as a complete prediction of personal safety.
