What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Ohio Wesleyan University?

Ohio Wesleyan reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Those are campus resources, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to contact Public Safety, receive emergency notifications, and report urgent concerns. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine reported campus crimes and safety policies for specified years; such figures need context because reporting boundaries and reporting practices affect what they capture. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's current reporting, confidential-support, and Title IX options, which serve different purposes.
