What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Lafayette College?

Lafayette has a campus public safety department and publishes procedures for reporting emergencies and other concerns. Students should learn how to reach public safety, receive emergency notifications, and locate help after regular office hours.

The college's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its stated safety policies and federally reported campus crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every incident or of any individual's risk. Lafayette also maintains processes for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking support under its applicable policies. Applicants who rely on late-night transportation, escorts, or particular residence-hall access arrangements should check the current public safety and housing procedures rather than assume those services operate at all times.
