Upstate Medical University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Upstate Medical University?

Upstate has trained security personnel on 24-hour patrol and provides emergency telephone or alarm devices and late-night transport or escort service. Electronic access controls are used at residence entrances. Students should learn the procedures for the particular academic building, residence and clinical site they use.

In an emergency, university alerts and the directions of campus public safety personnel are more useful than assumptions based on a general description of the campus. Students should review Upstate's current emergency-notification instructions, reporting contacts and annual security report. Those resources explain how to report incidents and provide the required crime statistics for defined locations and reporting years; the statistics alone cannot describe every aspect of an individual's safety. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should also check the university's current Title IX reporting and support options.
