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

Lehigh provides a campus public-safety response, emergency reporting resources, and measures intended to help students seek assistance at any hour. Reported provisions include round-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night transport or escort assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications and where to report an immediate concern. Sexual misconduct can require different reporting and support pathways from a routine security call, including access to confidential help and the university's Title IX process. Lehigh's annual security report is the appropriate source for its formally reported campus crime figures and safety policies; such figures need their reporting period and geographic definitions to be interpreted responsibly.
