Tufts University

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

Tufts maintains campus safety services that include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transport or escort option. Students should learn the current operating hours and coverage area of any transport service before relying on it.

The university also provides ways to report emergencies and other concerns, along with procedures for responding to sexual misconduct and obtaining support. Because the appropriate contact depends on whether a situation is an immediate emergency, a conduct concern, or a request for confidential help, students should review the university's current reporting and support information.

Tufts' annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and related policies. Such figures have defined reporting categories and geographic boundaries; they are not a complete measure of an individual student's safety.
