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

Macalester provides campus safety services that include trained personnel on patrol around the clock, emergency communication devices, and late-night escort or transportation assistance. Reported residence-hall security measures include electronically operated entrances.

Students should learn how to contact the college's public safety office, receive emergency alerts, and report an incident when they arrive. Macalester also maintains processes for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing support. Its annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods, so they cannot by themselves describe every aspect of personal safety.
