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

Washburn maintains campus safety resources that include trained security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and a late-night transport or escort service, according to institutional reporting. Residence-hall entrances are reported as electronically controlled.

Students should learn how to reach the Washburn University Police Department, receive emergency notifications and report an urgent concern before they need those services. The university's published emergency procedures and annual security report are useful for checking current contacts, reporting options and federally reported campus crime figures. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should also review the university's Title IX reporting and support procedures. No single safety measure or crime statistic can describe an individual's experience or remove the need for ordinary precautions.
