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

Suffolk provides campus security services in its downtown buildings, including reported around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night escort or transportation assistance. The details of a service - such as its hours and service area - matter when planning an evening commute.

Students should use the university's published emergency-contact and notification procedures and learn how to report an incident to campus security. Suffolk's annual security report is the appropriate source for its officially reported campus crime statistics and safety policies. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should consult the university's Title IX reporting and support information; emergency assistance and confidential support may follow different procedures.
