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

Campus safety at Lake Forest College involves its public safety resources, emergency procedures, and reporting channels. Students should learn how to request urgent help, receive emergency notifications, and report conduct or sexual misconduct concerns rather than relying on a general impression of the surrounding community.

The college's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and related policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a comprehensive measure of everything a student might experience. A prospective resident should also review current residence-hall access rules and the college's emergency and support procedures, including confidential and nonconfidential options for seeking help after sexual misconduct.
