The University of Tennessee-Knoxville

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

The University of Tennessee Police Department provides campus law-enforcement and emergency-response services. UT Knoxville also reports around-the-clock security patrols, emergency phones or alarms, controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort options.

Students should learn how to receive the university's emergency alerts, where to report an immediate threat and how to contact campus police. The university publishes an annual security report with federally required crime statistics and safety policies; its reported incidents should be read with their locations and reporting periods in mind, not treated as a complete measure of anyone's personal safety.

Support and reporting channels for sexual misconduct are separate from ordinary emergency reporting and can involve university offices, law enforcement and confidential support resources with different roles. Students seeking help should check which offices can keep a conversation confidential before sharing details.
