Towson University

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

Towson has campus public-safety personnel, emergency notification and reporting procedures, and residential-building access controls. Reported campus measures include round-the-clock patrols, emergency phones or alarms, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation option.

Students should learn how to receive emergency alerts, report an incident and request after-hours assistance before they need those services. Towson's official annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required crime disclosures and policy details; reported incidents are tied to specific locations, definitions and reporting years, so they should not be treated as a complete measure of personal safety. Sexual misconduct concerns can also be reported through the university's designated reporting and support processes.
