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

Valparaiso University has campus public-safety resources that include trained personnel patrolling around the clock, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. A late-night escort or transportation service is also reported.

Students should learn the current emergency-notification procedure, how to reach university police or public safety, and how to report a safety concern or sexual misconduct. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime statistics and related policies. Such figures cover defined incidents and locations; they are not a complete measure of any person's risk or experience on campus.
