What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Nebraska-Lincoln?

Campus safety services include university police, around-the-clock security response, emergency phones or alarms, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Nebraska-Lincoln also provides emergency communications and late-night transportation or escort options.

Students should learn how to receive university alerts, where to report an urgent incident, and how to access support after sexual misconduct or another harmful experience. Call 911 for an immediate emergency; nonemergency reports and support requests follow separate university procedures. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus crime disclosures and safety policies. Its reported incidents have defined locations and reporting periods, so the figures should not be read as a complete measure of every student's personal risk.
