What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute?
WPI maintains campus public-safety services, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency response resources. Reported measures also include emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence entrances, and late-night escort or transportation assistance.
Students should learn how WPI issues emergency notifications, where to report an incident, and how to request an escort before they need those services. Reports of sexual misconduct may involve both safety personnel and the university's Title IX process, with support and reporting options depending on the situation. WPI's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and policy descriptions; reported incidents alone cannot give a complete picture of an individual's safety.
