Northern Michigan University

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

Northern Michigan University provides campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency reporting resources. Reported measures include emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how NMU distributes emergency alerts, how to contact Public Safety for an urgent concern and where to report a non-emergency incident. The university's published annual security report is the appropriate source for its federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods, not every experience in the surrounding community.

Sexual misconduct concerns involve separate reporting and support processes, including Title IX procedures. Students seeking help should check the current university guidance for confidential resources, reporting options and emergency assistance, since those options serve different purposes.
