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

Kean reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night transport or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures are resources and procedures, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to reach campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, request an escort, and report an incident. The university's published annual security report is the appropriate place to examine federally reported campus crime and safety-policy information; its statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods and are not a complete measure of every student's personal risk. Sexual misconduct reporting and confidential support may follow different channels, so students should identify which office handles each kind of request.
