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

HCU reports trained security patrols, 24-hour emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transport service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, report a concern, and receive emergency notifications when they enroll.

The university's current emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate places to check reporting channels, emergency contacts, and federally reported campus crime statistics. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should also review HCU's current Title IX reporting and support information. Security measures describe available resources; they cannot by themselves establish how safe any individual student will feel or be in every circumstance.
