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

UH maintains a campus police and public-safety operation, emergency communication procedures, and resources for reporting incidents. Reported campus provisions include around-the-clock security patrols and emergency alarm or telephone devices, electronic residence-hall entrances, and late-night transport or escort assistance.

Students can use official emergency alerts and UH Police guidance to learn how to respond to incidents, severe weather, and other disruptions. Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's designated Title IX processes, which are distinct from seeking confidential counseling or medical care. Before enrolling, students who want to assess reported incidents can read UH's current Annual Security Report and its stated campus reporting boundaries. Crime figures from that report cover defined categories and periods; they are not a complete measure of any individual's safety.
