What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Olin College of Engineering?

Olin reports around-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Those measures describe available resources, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to request emergency assistance, receive campus alerts and report a concern, including sexual misconduct. The college's current annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics, reporting locations, emergency procedures and prevention policies. A statistic from that report needs its year and reporting geography to be interpreted responsibly; it cannot by itself establish how safe an individual will feel or be.
