Oregon State University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Oregon State University?

Oregon State provides campus police and public-safety services, emergency communications and ways to report urgent concerns. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transportation or escort option.

Students should learn how to receive OSU emergency alerts and where to find current operating hours and service areas for nighttime transportation. The university also publishes an annual security report with federally required crime and safety-policy disclosures. Those figures should be read with their reporting years and geographic definitions; they are not a complete measure of a person's risk.

Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's designated reporting processes, and students can seek confidential or other support through the appropriate campus services. Reporting choices and confidentiality differ by office, making it worth checking the role of a resource before sharing sensitive information.
