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

Highline College reports trained security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation service. Campus safety also depends on knowing how to report an incident and receive an emergency alert.

Students should confirm the current campus security contact information, escort hours, and emergency-notification enrollment instructions when they start classes. Highline's published annual security report is the appropriate place to examine federally reported campus crime figures and safety policies. Those figures cover specified locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete record of every incident a student might experience.

Sexual misconduct reports and requests for related support follow the college's Title IX procedures. A student seeking help can use the college's designated reporting and support channels without relying on a general security statistic to decide whether a concern warrants attention.
