  • Statistics Reports: Comprehensive reports of crime-related information are compiled monthly and annually. The annual report is published and distributed to all current students and employees. Reports are available to all prospective students and employees upon request.
  • Student Newspaper: The school newspaper, the University Crescent, prints a "Campus Crime" column in each edition that contains information about all criminal reports received by Safety and Security during the previous week.
  • Special Alerts: If a crime or series of crimes has occurred on campus or close to campus that could be considered a threat to other students and employees, the University implements it's "Security Alert" policy. The dissemination of information is accomplished in a variety of ways:

    Thought these alerts, member of the campus community are provided with prompt notice of incidents that could have a direct effect on their safety and security.
