UAB has a campus police and public safety operation, emergency communication procedures and safety resources for students. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency phones or alarms, controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort option.
Students should learn how UAB sends emergency alerts, where to report an immediate concern and which transportation service operates at the hours they need. Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's designated Title IX processes, with support resources available separately from an immediate police response. UAB's annual security report is the appropriate place to check federally reported campus crime statistics and the locations and years those figures cover; a single statistic cannot fully describe an individual's safety.
