Purdue University Northwest

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

PNW has campus public-safety resources, including around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Residence-hall entrances are electronically controlled. These measures describe available systems; they do not establish a student's personal level of risk.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications and how to report an immediate emergency through 911 or the applicable campus police contact. PNW also publishes an annual security report under federal campus-safety rules. That report is the appropriate place to check defined, year-specific campus crime statistics and security policies; its figures should be interpreted with their reporting geography and definitions in mind.

For sexual misconduct or other concerning behavior, students can use the university's reporting and support processes as well as emergency services when needed. A prospective resident should review residence-hall access rules and emergency procedures for the building where they would live.
