University of Maryland Eastern Shore

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Maryland Eastern Shore?

UMES reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled entrances to residence halls. These measures address different situations and do not eliminate the need for students to know how to request help.

Students should save the campus public-safety emergency number, learn how university emergency alerts are delivered, and check the procedure for requesting a late-night escort. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally reported campus crime statistics and reporting procedures; those figures have defined locations and reporting periods and are not a complete measure of every student's personal experience. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should review the university's reporting and support options, including confidential resources where offered.
