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

Puget Sound reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night transport or escort service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are available safety measures, not guarantees against incidents.

Students should learn how to contact campus security, receive emergency notifications, and report concerns. The university's published emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate places to check current contacts, reporting options, and crime statistics with their dates and definitions. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should also review the university's current reporting, supportive-measures, and confidential-resource information; those channels can serve different purposes.
