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

Rider reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are campus safety resources, not assurances that incidents cannot occur.

Students should learn how to contact Rider Public Safety, receive emergency alerts, and report a concern when they arrive. They should also review the university's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or other support, since reporting routes can serve different purposes. Rider's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine its published Clery Act crime statistics, emergency procedures, and reporting policies; a reported crime count alone is not a complete measure of personal safety.
