Santa Clara University

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

Santa Clara University has a campus safety and emergency-response function for reporting incidents and communicating urgent information. Students should learn the current emergency contact methods, alert-enrollment procedures and reporting options when they arrive, rather than relying on an assumption that every concern is handled through the same office.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and descriptions of safety policies. Those statistics cover defined offenses, locations and reporting periods; they do not capture every incident a student might experience. SCU also maintains procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing related support. A student deciding where to report should use the university's current policy to distinguish confidential support resources from offices that may be required to act on a disclosure.
