University of San Diego

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of San Diego?

USD's Department of Public Safety provides campus safety services, including around-the-clock patrols. Reported campus measures include emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to contact Public Safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident. The university also publishes an annual security report with federally required crime disclosures and information about reporting and response procedures. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, by themselves, establish whether any individual will feel safe. For sexual misconduct or harassment, students should consult the university's current Title IX reporting and support procedures, including options for confidential help where available.
