What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Gettysburg College?

Gettysburg College provides around-the-clock campus safety coverage and emergency-reporting resources. Reported measures include trained security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronic residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency notifications, report an urgent incident, and request an escort under the current operating rules. The college's annual security report is the place to examine its published crime statistics and procedures; reported incidents cover defined locations and reporting periods, not every experience of personal safety. Sexual misconduct reporting and support have distinct procedures, so students seeking confidential help or wishing to make a formal report should check which campus office serves each purpose.
