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

UNM operates a university police department and publishes emergency and crime-reporting information. Students can use campus emergency procedures and UNM's alert system, commonly called LoboAlerts, to receive information about qualifying incidents and disruptions.

UNM also publishes an annual security report under federal campus-safety rules. It is the appropriate source for the reporting period, geographic definitions, and categories behind campus crime statistics; those figures are not a complete measure of every student's personal risk. Students should learn how to report an urgent incident, where to find emergency guidance, and how to access confidential or formal support after sexual misconduct. Reporting options and privacy rules differ by office, so a student seeking help should check whether a resource is confidential before sharing details.
