Furman University

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

Furman provides campus security services, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort option.

Students should learn the current method for receiving emergency alerts, how to contact campus public safety, and how to request an escort before they need one. Furman's reporting and support procedures for sexual misconduct are another distinct resource; a student can review the university's current policy to understand confidential support, formal reporting, and emergency options. The annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Such statistics reflect defined locations and reporting rules, not a complete measure of any person's risk.
