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

Seattle University provides campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock security patrols and emergency communication resources. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an immediate threat and request an escort. For information about reported incidents and institutional procedures, the university's annual security report is the appropriate source; its crime statistics cover specified reporting categories and locations, not every experience that may affect personal safety. Sexual misconduct reporting and confidential support follow different processes, so students seeking help should distinguish an emergency report from a confidential consultation.
