What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Wellesley College?

Wellesley maintains campus safety personnel and emergency-response resources, including round-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence entrances and late-night transportation or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to request immediate help, receive campus emergency notifications, and report a concern through the college's current safety procedures. Wellesley also provides channels for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking support; the reporting process and confidential support options serve different purposes, so students should check which office or resource fits their needs.

The college's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published campus crime statistics, reporting rules, and safety policies. Such figures cover specified locations and reporting periods; they cannot provide a complete prediction of any person's experience.
