University of Memphis

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

The University of Memphis maintains campus security and emergency-response resources, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, report an incident and request a late-night escort before they need those services. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its current policies and federally reported campus-crime statistics. Such statistics cover specified locations and reporting years; they do not capture every safety concern or predict an individual's experience. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should consult the university's current reporting and support procedures, which are distinct from making a criminal report.
