Otterbein University

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

Otterbein provides campus safety resources and procedures for reporting emergencies and other concerns. Reported residential security measures include electronically operated dormitory entrances, and late-night transportation or escort assistance is available.

Students should learn the university's current emergency contacts, alert-signup procedure, and instructions for reporting a crime or urgent welfare concern. For sexual misconduct, the university's Title IX process and confidential support options serve different purposes; students can ask which conversations are confidential before sharing details. Otterbein's annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally required crime disclosures, policies, and reporting categories. Such figures cover specified locations and periods and are not a complete measure of an individual's safety.
