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

Pacific University provides campus safety staffing and emergency-response resources, including around-the-clock security coverage and emergency communication options. Reported campus measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and late-night escort or transportation assistance.

Students should learn the current emergency-alert procedure and how to report an incident at the campus where they study, since arrangements may differ among locations. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review reported Clery Act crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover specified categories and locations rather than every incident a student might experience. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures.
