University of Miami

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

The University of Miami has a campus police and public-safety operation, emergency communication procedures, and ways to report incidents. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock security patrols and emergency phones or alarms, controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort options.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency notifications and which office responds at their usual campus location; arrangements can differ between Coral Gables, the medical campus, and Virginia Key. The university also publishes an annual security report with Clery Act crime and policy disclosures. That report is useful for reviewing reported incidents and procedures, but its figures cover defined locations and reporting periods rather than every risk a person may encounter. Sexual misconduct reporting and confidential support have different purposes, so students seeking help should check which university resource offers each type of assistance.
