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

Georgetown has a university police department and campus emergency procedures. Students can use university reporting channels for urgent incidents and receive emergency communications through Georgetown's alert system.

The Georgetown University Police Department publishes safety information and contact procedures. The university also provides channels for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking support through its Title IX-related processes. Prospective students should review how confidential support differs from a formal report, since those options have different purposes and privacy rules. Transportation and escort arrangements can change by location and time of day; students with late classes or jobs should check the current service area and hours.

Georgetown's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics, policies, and reporting definitions. Those figures cover specified locations and reporting periods; they do not describe every incident a student might experience in Washington or establish that any campus is categorically safe or unsafe.
