Washington University in St Louis

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Washington University in St Louis?

Washington University provides campus public-safety patrols, emergency reporting resources and systems for communicating urgent information. Reported measures also include emergency telephones or alarms, late-night transportation or escort options, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn the emergency contact procedure for the campus where they spend time; the Danforth and Medical campuses have different daily settings and facilities. The university publishes an annual security report containing federally required crime and safety disclosures. Its statistics should be read with their reporting periods and geographic categories in mind, rather than treated as a complete measure of personal risk.

Sexual misconduct reporting and support involve designated university processes and resources. Students seeking help should distinguish confidential support options from offices that must act on a formal report, and review current procedures for immediate assistance or accommodations.
