University of Southern Maine

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Southern Maine?

USM reports around-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night transport or escort availability, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should check the current operating area and hours of any escort or transportation service, particularly when traveling between campuses.

Campus safety also depends on knowing how to report an immediate emergency, receive university alerts, and seek help after harassment or sexual misconduct. USM's public safety and Title IX resources are the appropriate places to review current reporting options and support procedures. Its annual security report provides federally required crime disclosures for specified locations and reporting years; those figures should be read with their dates and geographic definitions, not as a complete measure of anyone's personal safety.
