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

The University of Mississippi has campus police and emergency-response resources. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transportation or escort option.

Students should enroll in the university's emergency notification system and learn how to report an urgent incident to campus police. Reporting routes for sexual misconduct and access to confidential support are distinct, so it is worth identifying both before a need arises. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures and policy details. Those reported incidents have defined locations and reporting rules; they are not a complete measure of every student's personal safety.
