What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse?

UWL provides campus safety services that include around-the-clock security patrols and emergency communication resources. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation assistance, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency alerts, where to report a concern, and which office handles an urgent incident versus a nonemergency request. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover defined categories and locations, not every incident a student might encounter. Sexual misconduct reporting and support involve additional university procedures, which students should review so they understand both confidential support options and formal reporting routes.
