Northeastern University Oakland

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

Northeastern University Oakland students should use the campus's current public safety and emergency procedures, rather than assume that services advertised for Northeastern's Boston campus operate in the same way in Oakland.

Before arrival, students should locate the Oakland emergency contact instructions, learn how to receive university alerts, and review procedures for reporting a crime or other urgent concern. Northeastern's policies for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining supportive measures are also relevant to Oakland students; reporting routes and confidential resources serve different purposes. The campus's annual security information is the appropriate place to check reported crimes, the years covered, and the geographic areas included. Such statistics are useful for understanding documented incidents and procedures, but they cannot by themselves establish how safe an individual will feel or be on campus.
