What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Illinois State University?

Illinois State has a university police department and emergency-response resources. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephones or alarms, electronic residence-hall access, and a late-night escort or transportation option.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an urgent incident, and request a late-night escort before they need those services. Sexual misconduct concerns can be reported through the university's Title IX process; students seeking support should also ask which counseling or advocacy services are confidential and which employees must pass on a report. Illinois State's annual security report is the appropriate source for its federally required crime and safety disclosures. Reported incidents have defined locations and reporting periods, so the figures should not be treated as a complete measure of anyone's personal safety.
