What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at The University of Alabama?

The University of Alabama provides campus policing, emergency communications, and ways to request help or report incidents. Reported security measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort services.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts and where to find current procedures for urgent situations. Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's designated reporting channels, with support services and policy information available separately from any criminal investigation. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus crime statistics and reporting policies; its figures cover defined locations and periods and should not be treated as a complete measure of personal risk.
