What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Simpson College?

Simpson College reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency phone or alarm resources, along with electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation service. Students should learn how to request help and receive emergency alerts when they arrive, rather than assume every service works the same way at all hours or locations.

For a fuller account of campus procedures, prospective students can review Simpson's current annual security report, including its reporting channels, emergency-response policies, and federally required crime statistics. Those statistics cover specified categories, locations, and years; they are not a complete measure of every personal-safety concern. Students seeking to report sexual misconduct should also identify the college's current Title IX reporting and support contacts.
