Methodist University reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation service. Residence-hall entrances are reported as electronically controlled.
Students should learn the current emergency-notification procedure, the number for campus public safety, and how to report a concern when they arrive. For sexual misconduct or harassment, the university's current Title IX reporting and support procedures are the relevant starting point. Its annual security report provides federally required information about policies and reported incidents; those figures should be read with their reporting years and geographic definitions rather than treated as a complete measure of anyone's personal safety.
