Southwestern University

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

Southwestern reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation service. It also reports electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures describe available services, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to request an escort, report an emergency, and receive campus alerts before they need those services. The university's annual security disclosures are the appropriate place to examine reported campus crime categories and prevention procedures; the figures cover defined locations and reporting periods and do not capture every aspect of personal safety. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should identify both the university's reporting process and its confidential support options, which serve different purposes.
