Illinois Institute of Technology

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Illinois Institute of Technology?

Illinois Tech has round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with electronic access controls at residence halls and a late-night escort or transportation option. These are resources students can use; they are not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how the university sends emergency alerts, how to contact its public safety staff, and where to report a concerning incident. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and related procedures. Its figures cover defined locations and reporting periods, so they should not be read as a complete measure of every student's personal risk.

Support after an incident can involve different offices depending on the issue, including public safety, health or counseling services, and staff responsible for responding to sexual misconduct reports. Knowing both emergency and nonemergency reporting routes is particularly useful for students who travel between the main campus and downtown facilities.
