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

UW-Whitewater has campus public-safety and emergency-response procedures, and students should learn how to receive university alerts and report an urgent concern at the campus they attend. The main Whitewater campus and the Rock County location may have different building access and local response arrangements.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and related policies. Such statistics cover defined locations, categories, and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of an individual's risk. Students can also review university procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or other support. For an immediate emergency, call 911; for nonemergency questions, use the current campus police or public-safety contact information published by the university.
