Hope College

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

Hope College provides campus safety services that include trained personnel on patrol around the clock, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation option. Reported residential security measures include electronically operated entrances.

Students should learn how to contact Campus Safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an urgent incident before they need those procedures. The college also has processes for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support; those processes are distinct from making a criminal report. Its annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required crime disclosures and descriptions of safety policies.

No collection of equipment or patrol practices can establish that an individual will face no risk. When comparing campuses, applicants should read reporting definitions and covered locations carefully rather than treating a single crime count as a complete measure of personal safety.
