What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley?

UTRGV provides campus police and emergency-response resources across its locations. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night escort or transportation service; electronic entry controls are reported for residence facilities.

Students should enroll in the university's emergency-notification system, learn the procedures for the campus they use, and identify how to contact campus police. Reports of sexual misconduct can be made through the university's designated reporting and support channels, which are distinct from an emergency call. UTRGV's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus crime disclosures, policies, and reporting instructions. Crime counts in such reports cover defined locations and periods and cannot, on their own, describe every student's personal risk.
