Johnson & Wales University-Providence

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Johnson & Wales University-Providence?

JWU Providence reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures provide ways to seek assistance; they do not eliminate risk.

Students should learn the campus public safety contact procedure and how JWU sends emergency alerts. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its stated reporting procedures, emergency practices and Clery Act crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods, not every incident a student might experience in Providence.

For sexual misconduct or other serious concerns, students should consult the university's current reporting and support options, including confidential resources where available. Reporting to campus officials, requesting supportive measures and contacting law enforcement can involve different processes and choices.
