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

Wilkes University reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transport service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are available measures, not a guarantee against incidents.

Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident. The university's published emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate places to check current contacts, reporting channels, and federally reported campus crime statistics. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should review the university's Title IX reporting and support options, including the distinction between confidential support and a formal report. Published crime figures cover specified categories and reporting areas; they are not a complete measure of an individual's personal risk.
