Vanderbilt University

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

Vanderbilt has a university police department and campus emergency-response procedures. Students can use official emergency contacts and reporting channels and enroll in or review the university's emergency-notification instructions. Procedures for requesting assistance and reporting sexual misconduct involve different offices and support options, so students should consult the relevant university guidance for the situation.

The university publishes an annual security report under the federal Clery Act. That report is the appropriate source for dated, geographically defined campus-crime statistics and safety policies; its reported incidents should not be treated as a complete measure of any individual's risk. Applicants living off campus should also examine transportation and building-access arrangements for the specific location they would use.
