What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of West Florida?

UWF maintains campus safety and emergency-response resources, including around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transportation or escort option.

Students should learn how UWF issues emergency alerts, where to report an incident, and how to request assistance after hours. Sexual misconduct reporting and support follow separate university procedures; a student can review those options before deciding whether and how to make a report. UWF's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and the reporting rules behind them. Such statistics cover specified locations and periods and cannot, on their own, establish whether an individual will feel safe.
