University of Northern Iowa

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

UNI has campus public-safety personnel and emergency-response procedures. Reported measures include round-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronic residence-hall entrances and a late-night escort or transportation service. Availability, routes and hours for a particular service should be checked when a student needs it.

The university's emergency-alert system and public-safety guidance are the appropriate places to review weather closures, immediate threats and reporting instructions. Students should learn how to contact campus police or emergency services, report a nonemergency concern and request assistance after hours. UNI also provides processes for reporting sexual misconduct and accessing supportive resources; a report to the university and a report to law enforcement serve different purposes and may be made through different channels.

The annual security report is the source for federally required campus crime disclosures and policy descriptions. Its counts have defined locations and reporting periods, so they should not be read as a complete measure of any individual's safety.
