What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at William & Mary?

William & Mary has campus police and emergency-management resources for reporting incidents and responding to emergencies. Reported campus features include emergency telephone or alarm devices and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. The university also provides emergency notifications and publishes an annual security report under the Clery Act.

Students should enroll in the university's current emergency-alert system and learn the reporting options for urgent incidents, suspected crimes, and sexual misconduct. Confidential support and formal reporting are different processes; the university's current sexual misconduct resources explain who can provide each type of assistance. Annual security-report statistics cover specified locations, offenses, and reporting periods, so they are useful to review but cannot by themselves describe every aspect of a student's personal safety.
