What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Wisconsin-Madison?
UW-Madison maintains a campus police department, emergency communications procedures, and round-the-clock security resources. It also provides emergency phones or alarms, controlled access at residence halls, and late-night transportation or escort options.
Students can receive campus emergency notifications through WiscAlerts and can report urgent incidents to police. For nonemergency concerns, the university provides reporting channels and support services, including resources for sexual misconduct. Its annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime statistics and related policies. Those statistics cover specified locations and reporting categories; they should not be read as a complete measure of every individual's experience on or near campus.
