What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?
RPI maintains a campus public-safety operation and provides emergency-response resources. Reported measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.
Students should learn how to contact Public Safety, receive campus emergency notifications, and report a concern. The university's published annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting years; they are not a complete measure of every student's personal experience. Sexual misconduct reporting and support involve additional procedures, which students should review separately from general emergency instructions.
