What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Rochester Institute of Technology?

RIT maintains a public safety operation with around-the-clock patrols and emergency-response procedures. Reported campus measures include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how RIT issues emergency notifications and how to report urgent incidents, concerning behavior, theft, or sexual misconduct. Public Safety, student support offices, and the university's Title IX reporting and support process have different roles; a student seeking confidential help should check which campus resources can provide it. RIT's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics and policy details. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods and cannot, on their own, establish an individual's level of safety.
