What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Metropolitan State University of Denver?

Safety and emergency response on the shared Auraria Campus involve campus public-safety personnel and university reporting and support processes. Reported resources include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and late-night escort or transportation assistance.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency notifications, where to report an immediate threat and how to request an escort before they need one. MSU Denver also has processes for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support; the appropriate reporting route can differ from a police report. The annual security report is the source for federally required campus-crime disclosures, but its statistics cover defined locations and reporting categories rather than every incident that might affect a student.
