Northern Kentucky University

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

NKU has a campus police department and publishes emergency guidance and federally required campus security information. Students should learn how the university sends emergency alerts, how to report an incident, and where to find the current Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.

The annual report is the appropriate source for reviewing reported Clery Act crime statistics and campus policies, but those statistics have defined locations, categories and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of anyone's personal risk. NKU's Title IX reporting and support procedures are also relevant to students seeking help with sexual harassment or misconduct. For a specific service, such as an escort or late-night transportation option, students should check the current campus police guidance rather than assume it is available at all times.
