George Mason University

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

George Mason University has a university police department and uses emergency communications and response procedures for campus incidents. Students should learn how to receive Mason Alert notifications and how to contact police or report a concern at the campus they use.

The university publishes an annual security report under federal campus-safety requirements. That report is the appropriate source for dated, location-specific crime statistics and descriptions of reporting policies; its counts should not be treated as a complete measure of every student's personal safety. Students can also consult university procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or supportive assistance. Services and response arrangements may differ between Fairfax and other university locations.
