University of Missouri-St Louis

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Missouri-St Louis?

UMSL maintains campus public-safety services, including trained personnel who patrol around the clock. Reported campus measures also include emergency phones or alarms, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts and how to contact campus police or emergency responders from the places where they study and live. UMSL's published annual security report is the appropriate source for its reporting procedures and federally required crime statistics; such statistics cover specified categories and locations and are not a complete measure of every student's personal experience.

For concerns involving sexual misconduct, students should use the university's current reporting and support information to distinguish confidential help from formal reporting channels. The right contact may differ depending on whether someone needs immediate emergency assistance, medical care, supportive measures or an investigation.
