What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Western Connecticut State University?

Western Connecticut State University has campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include late-night escort or transport assistance and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, whom to contact in an urgent situation, and how to report an incident on either campus. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and safety policies. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting categories; they do not measure every experience or establish that a campus is categorically safe or unsafe.

Sexual misconduct reporting and support are distinct from a general emergency call. Students can consult the university's current Title IX and support information to understand reporting choices and available assistance.
