Rice University

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

Rice maintains a campus police and public-safety operation, with around-the-clock patrols and emergency reporting resources. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence entrances, and late-night transportation or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications, report an urgent incident and request after-hours help. Rice's policies also provide channels for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking support; the appropriate office and process can depend on whether someone seeks emergency assistance, confidential care or a formal university response.

The university's annual security report is the place to review its current Clery Act disclosures, including defined categories of reported crime and campus safety policies. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods and do not, by themselves, establish how safe any individual will feel or be.
