What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Southern College of Optometry?

Students should use SCO's published campus safety procedures and emergency contacts for guidance on reporting an incident or requesting help. Its Madison Avenue location is an urban campus, so practical considerations include travel to parking areas, clinical sites, and off-campus housing.

Prospective students can review the college's annual security report for the applicable reporting years, reporting locations, and institutional policies. Reported campus crimes cover defined geographic areas and categories; they should not be treated as a complete measure of every place a student may spend time in Memphis. Students should also identify the college's current process for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking supportive measures before those resources are needed.
